Hang Ma Street gets hectic as Mid-Autumn Festival nears
Hang Ma Street is a sales hub of decorations. After a year of closure due to Covid-19, the street is glowing again with various colored lanterns.
With three weeks to go until the Mid-Autumn Festival, the atmosphere on Hang Ma Street is already extremely festive.
In contrast to last year’s gloomy and empty scene, this year, right from the end of the 7th lunar month, many shops have been busy displaying a variety of colorful toys. |

This year, most of the toys here are lanterns in various frames, including star lanterns and revolving lanterns, and masks, all of which are familiar yet beautifully made and decorated. |
Thanh, an owner of a mid-autumn toy shop at 74 Hang Ma Street, said that this year, she stocks more traditional toys than modern ones because old-fashioned items are not only diverse and familiar but also environmentally friendly, "and choosing folk toys is contributing to preserving traditional values as well," she told The Hanoi Times. |
The prices of traditional toys range from VND20,000 to VND100,000 each, depending on the size and type. |
