Clay statues are a traditional type of toy in Vietnam and popular during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Lunar New Year (Tet). They are usually figurines of animals, like turtles and birds, or people dressed in traditional outfits. Today they have lost their popularity, however, and Phùng Đình Giáp and his wife are among the last artisans to still make them.
There is only three weeks to go until the Mid-Autumn Festival, a very special time of year in Vietnam, especially for kids. With COVID-19 making its presence felt, local mooncake producers are working hard to guarantee food safety so that customers can still have a festival full of joy.
The Thang Long - Hanoi Heritage Conservation Centre will organise a Mid-Autumn Festival from September 17 to October 4 at the Thang Long Imperial Citadel.
The days of waiting for summer-autumn rice to bloom, for the people in Ong Hao village (also known as Hao village) at Lieu Xa commune, Yen My district, Hung Yen, is not leisure time. From the sixth and seventh lunar month of the year, every house in the village becomes very busy making toys for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
To better control the production and sale of goods during the upcoming Mid Autumn Festival, the Market Surveillance Department in Bac Ninh province has increased its inspection efforts since the beginning of September and bolstered measures to prevent the appearance of counterfeit products and ensure food safety.
With the Mid-Autumn Festival peaking, people have been flooding into Hanoi’s Old Quarter, especially Hang Ma street, to shop, take photos and enjoy the festive ambience.
