The move is among events to celebrate the 79th anniversary of National Day (September 2) and the 70th anniversary of Hanoi’s Liberation Day (October 10, 1954).
The holiday is also an occasion to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so from August 30, the Organizing Committee will turn the Hanoi Old Quarter Cultural Exchange Center (50 Dao Duy Tu Street, Hang Buom Ward) into a space for the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival, with lanterns, Mid-Autumn Festival trays and many images of the old Mid-Autumn Festival.
On September 1, a discussion on preserving and promoting the value of traditional Ao Dai will be held to honor the beauty of the Vietnamese Ao Dai and discuss experiences to preserve and promote the value of Ao Dai as a cultural heritage.
Meanwhile, a program to make traditional Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns will take place at the Old Quarter Heritage Information Center at Quan De Temple, 28 Hang Buom Street, Hang Buom Ward.
At Villa No. 49 Tran Hung Dao, Hang Bai Ward, the organizers will introduce the art of engraved lacquer paintings with the theme "Heritage Circuit". Sixty engraved lacquer paintings, mainly inspired by folk paintings, will bring the public a new look at the artists’ creations. The program will last until September 3.
In the pedestrian spaces of Hoan Kiem District, there will be many attractive outdoor activities. The highlight will be the “Cycling Parade: Ao Dai Connects Tourism with Hanoi Heritage”, taking place on the morning of September 1./.
