Hang Ma Street gets hectic as Mid-Autumn Festival nears
Hang Ma Street is a sales hub of decorations. After a year of closure due to Covid-19, the street is glowing again with various colored lanterns.
With three weeks to go until the Mid-Autumn Festival, the atmosphere on Hang Ma Street is already extremely festive.
| In contrast to last year’s gloomy and empty scene, this year, right from the end of the 7th lunar month, many shops have been busy displaying a variety of colorful toys. |
|
|
| This year, most of the toys here are lanterns in various frames, including star lanterns and revolving lanterns, and masks, all of which are familiar yet beautifully made and decorated. |
| Thanh, an owner of a mid-autumn toy shop at 74 Hang Ma Street, said that this year, she stocks more traditional toys than modern ones because old-fashioned items are not only diverse and familiar but also environmentally friendly, "and choosing folk toys is contributing to preserving traditional values as well," she told The Hanoi Times. |
| The prices of traditional toys range from VND20,000 to VND100,000 each, depending on the size and type. |
