Exhibition booths modelled after houses in the old quarter add a distinctly “Hanoi atmosphere” to the festival.

The To He (traditional toy figurines) product booth attracts much attention from visitors.

To He artisan Dang Van Hau shared: “I have brought a variety of To He products to the festival, especially those that have been exhibited abroad and won many awards.”

“Among them, there are sets like ‘Hat Boi - Tuong Co’ (Classical Opera), ‘Mid-Autumn Lantern Procession’, ‘Don Ca Tai Tu’ (Traditional Southern Music), ‘Ngu Ho’ (Five Tigers), etc. In addition, many ancient To He sets were brought for display so visitors could learn more about the To He art,” Dan Van Hau added.

The cultural space “Ung Hoa - Suburban heritage land”, with its colourful incense bundles, attracts many tourists to take photos and check-in.

Vietnamese tea culture artisan Nguyen Cao Son said, “In my second participation in the Hanoi Autumn Festival, I have brought the tea space of Hanoi residents to the festival, combined with bonsai bamboo trees sourced from various rural areas of Vietnam.”
