As the Mid-Autumn Festival draws near, the capital city is being brightened with lanterns, marking it one of the most anticipated festivities of the year.

Artisans in Hanoi's Old Quarter will display various types of lanterns in the shape of carp turning into a dragon, carp looking at the moon, crab and rabbit.

Unique mooncakes showcase the ingenuity and creativity of their makers, spreading an air of joy and positivity during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Folk paintings, ca tru singing, and traditional lacquer art of Hanoi has become the inspiration for artisans to make mooncakes for Mid-Autumn Festival this year.

The program not only aims to offer children a meaningful and memorable Mid-Autumn Festival but also appeals to adults evoking memories of their childhoods.

The tour is expected to nurture love for the nature among people, typically kids.

Many activities will be organized nationwide to entertain children on the occasion of the traditional Full-moon Festival.

At every Mid-Autumn Festival in recent years, it's easy to get the picture of a man passionately teaching children how to make traditional toys in cultural spaces. For artists, it is the best way to pass on the love of folk games to the younger generation.
