As Christmas approaches, the streets of central Hanoi become colorful.

Christmas hasn't come yet, but its vibes have spread throughout Hanoi, especially on Hang Ma Street in the Old Quarter.

Shops in Hang Ma Street change their offers depending on the Tet holiday, Halloween, and Christmas. These days, Hang Ma Street is very lively. The street has been sparkling with Santa Claus costumes and garlands to await the celebration.

Many families go to Hang Ma together to buy Christmas gifts.

Wide range of products on offer.

A wide rage of products.
