With only a few days left until Halloween, in Hang Ma quarter, the largest decorative shopping mall in Hanoi has "changed its shirt", brilliant with colors to welcome domestic and foreign tourists to visit.
In particular, many international tourists after walking around this neighborhood were very excited to celebrate Halloween in Vietnam for the first time.
Coming to Hanoi for the first time, Elle, a tourist from London, UK, shared that she had just been in Vietnam for 3 days and was staying in the Old Quarter. These days, when walking around Hang Ma neighborhood, she is very impressed with the Halloween atmosphere and Christmas festival colors.
According to Elle, the decoration and costumes in Vietnam are quite similar to those in her hometown, all with pumpkins, witches and familiar Halloween symbols.
In the UK, people often organize parties, gather and have fun at home or in bars, the festive spirit is also very vibrant.
When learning that Halloween is not one of the main holidays in Vietnam, Elle seemed quite surprised and excited.
Even though I have only been here for a few days, I find the way Vietnamese people celebrate Halloween very fun and bustling. The bustling atmosphere has its own interesting and colorful features that make me want to immerse myself in that atmosphere, she expressed.
Some international tourists also seemed quite excited to experience both Halloween and Christmas festivals.
When she first set foot on Hang Ma Street, Sasha Leroy, a tourist from France shared that she was very impressed with this place.
"The whole neighborhood is filled with decorations and festive colors. It was quite interesting when I witnessed Halloween mixed with Christmas and pumpkin next to the Christmas tree, looking both strange and fun, she said.
Compared to France, she shared that this special street in Vietnam is more brilliantly decorated and eye-catching. In her hometown, the streets are often not decorated much. But on Halloween, children often dress up and knock on every door to ask for candy.
She believes that each country's festival will be organized separately. In particular, she feels that Vietnamese people celebrate Halloween in a very unique and energetic way.
Visiting Hang Ma Street, visitors can enjoy the Halloween festival atmosphere, shop with many new, attractive, colorful items such as pumpkin lanterns, witch hats, masks, ensembles, skeletons, pickles, swords... In addition, it is also a suitable and ideal place to have beautiful photos for the holiday season.
