The "Snapping Hanoi" challenge encourages residents and visitors to explore the city's cultural and historical landmarks while wearing the ao dai.
Launched on August 6, "Snapping Hanoi with Ao Dai" has attracted nearly 1,000 works from 500 authors to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Capital's Liberation Day (October 10, 1954 - 2024).
The works were taken by the authors at historical sites and scenic spots in Hanoi, showing the charm of Vietnamese women in Ao dai.

Together with "Snapping Hanoi" with Ao Dai Challenge, which is part of the series of activities of Hanoi Ao Dai Tourism Festival 2024 organized by the Hanoi People's Committee, Hanoi Ao Dai Month 2024 will be held from October 1 to October 20.

In addition, 1,000 women in the capital will perform a folk dance medley of 3 songs "Hanoi People - Marching to Hanoi - Hanoi Constructions", and more than 70,000 women of all ages will participate in a folk dance event.
A major highlight is the Ao Dai Carnival on the morning of October 5, a large parade organized by the Hanoi Women's Union with an estimated 1,500 women participating. The parade will start from the Thang Long Imperial Citadel and pass through major streets before returning to the citadel.
There will be an exchange with women entrepreneurs and the presentation of "Capital's Golden Lotus" awards to artisans from Hanoi's craft villages and streets.
