Walking around the street, you can see hundreds of lanterns of all colors, sizes and materials displayed on stalls.

From traditional star lanterns, military lanterns to modern lanterns with cute cartoon characters, they are all here.

Every year, stalls at Hai Thuong Lan Ong always strive to update the latest designs to keep up with market trends.

Filled with hot trend designs such as bamboo basket lanterns with teddy bears, jade rabbit lanterns, and pearl-studded carp lanterns.

Models equipped with bright LED lights and fun sounds are a trend that many parents and children love. Each lantern costs from 40,000 VND to 200,000 VND, depending on the model and type.

However, traditional lanterns still retain their appeal, being an indispensable symbol in Vietnamese culture.

Traditional lanterns have a simple, rustic beauty and are popular with many people. Shop owners share that mini lanterns are more popular than large lanterns because of the variety of designs and the not-too-high price of only 20,000 VND - 25,000 VND each.

However, although the lantern street is still sparkling and brilliant, at this time the number of visitors and shoppers is not as crowded as expected.

Many stalls said that compared to last year, the number of people coming to the lantern street this year has somewhat decreased.

Lantern shop owners pay great attention to decorating the space to attract customers.

Many types of lanterns are combined to create a colorful space, attracting people to visit and shop.

Traders said that the closer it gets to Mid-Autumn Festival, the more bustling the lantern street becomes with more visitors and shoppers.

Hai Thuong Lan Ong Street is colorful, ready to welcome visitors who want to find childhood memories or feel the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival atmosphere in the heart of the city.
