The campus of the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology these days attracts a large number of young people wearing traditional ao dai to take photos and record early spring moments. Instead of artificial settings or familiar check-in points, young people are gradually shifting to spaces imbued with indigenous cultural values.
Ngoc Hoa shared that she chose the museum as a place to take Tet ao dai photos because the space here is imbued with the breath of traditional culture, creating a solemn but close feeling: "For me, instead of artificial settings, the museum brings a realistic background with folk architecture, green trees and exhibition spaces rich in historical depth.
With Tay Nguyen communal houses, Tay and Muong ethnic stilt houses, outdoor display areas and green landscapes, the museum brings a realistic and richly cultural setting for Tet ao dai photos.
Many young people shared that taking ao dai photos at the museum is not only for "check-in" but also a way to connect with heritage, history and national identity. Traditional ao dai and modernized ao dai when placed in a folk architectural space create a more harmonious, elegant and meaningful image.
Besides groups of young people, many couples also choose the museum as a destination to take Ao Dai photos during Tet to preserve New Year's memories. Mr. Nguyen Trung Hieu said that he feels excited to experience cultural space with his lover and take Ao Dai photos on this special occasion.
The museum is imbued with national colors, so I want to record photos of ao dai with rich traditional cultural values. This is the first time I have come here and I am really surprised by architectural spaces that have never been seen before. This novelty makes me even more cherish and want to preserve meaningful moments in the national cultural space," Mr. Hieu said.
Not only the houses, the traditional architectural space attracts young people to check-in, the campus of the Museum of Ethnology also impresses with its spacious natural space, many green trees and harmonious scenery. The shady walkways, lake surfaces, lawns and spacious yards become natural backgrounds, helping Ao Dai photos become softer, closer and more emotional.
With reasonable ticket prices, including only 20,000 VND for students and the elderly, and 40,000 VND for regular sightseeing tickets, the Museum of Ethnology is expected to continue to attract a large number of young people to check-in, take ao dai photos and spend time learning more about the culture and heritage of Vietnamese ethnic groups in the early spring days.
