Mid-autumn festival held in Thang Long Imperial Citadel

The participants at the event enjoyed a lot of activities such as watching artisans' making moon cakes and traditional toys for the festival, including toys such as star lanterns, “keo quan” lanterns and “to he” (toy figurines).

Besides, the program also includes various activities such as an exhibition of precious images and documents on Mid-Autumn Festival from the late 19th century and the early 20th century, lion dances and water puppet performances.

This is an opportunity for children to find out more about the Mid-autumn festival in the past and relating to the present and participate in the "Serving a Mid-autumn festival cake and fruit" program which will be held on October 4. 

The organizing panel hopes that through activities and games at the event, children will deepen their knowledge about this enduring national cultural heritage.
