Hang Ma Street in Hanoi’s Hoan Kiem district is full of festive ambience as the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches. Enjoying an early full moon festival along Hang Ma has become a trend among the city’s young people over recent years.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is fast approaching, on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. Craft villages making festival lanterns, such as Bao Dap village in Nam Truc district, Nam Dinh province, are swamped with orders at the moment.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival fast approaches, mooncake bakers, especially those in major cities like Ho Chi Minh City, have been swimming in new orders. In addition to traditional offerings, creative new varieties have also been introduced not only to satisfy the tastes of picky customers but also to aim for foreign markets.
