Mid-Autumn Festival in Hàng Mã Street (Hà Nội) is always one of the most special and vibrant times of the year. Hàng Mã Street is famous for its shops selling all sorts of Mid-Autumn Festival items, from colorful lanterns, mooncakes, to traditional toys like masks, lanterns, drums, and other decorative items.
As the festival approaches, the atmosphere on Hàng Mã Street becomes lively and radiant, with twinkling lights and the scent of baked and sticky mooncakes filling the air. Shops start selling these items from the 8th lunar month, and during peak days, the street becomes even more crowded and bustling.
Locals and tourists flock here to shop, stroll around, and immerse themselves in the festive vibe unique to Hanoi. Children carrying lanterns, families gathering around mooncake offerings, and thoughtful gift exchanges all contribute to a warm, cheerful ambiance.
If you have a chance to visit Hàng Mã Street during the Mid-Autumn Festival, you’ll definitely feel the special energy of this joyful celebration.
