Under a winter wonderland and Christmas theme, the 25th HIWC Bazaar will take place in conjunction with the 30th founding anniversary of the HIWC.

A live musical concert, with the performance of Korean opera singer Sung Min Park, pianist Trang Trinh, the Hanoi Brass Band and the African Band, among others, is expected to take visitors by storm.
