The trend of taking photos in a classic style is considered a trend during the Lunar New Year, so places like Hoan Kiem Lake and Dong Xuan Market become the choice of young people and tourists.

The weather in Hanoi in the last days of the year is cold but it does not stop the flow of people coming to Hoan Kiem Lake to take pictures. Not only young people but also many tourists have come to the heart of Hanoi to keep beautiful memories of the last days of the year.
Thanks to that, many services have "made a fortune" by meeting the needs of taking photos and preserving beautiful moments of the "muses".
Busy with photo shoot appointments, Minh Tuan (Cau Giay - Hanoi) said that since the beginning of December, his familiar photo shoot location has been Hoan Kiem Lake.
Although it was a part-time job while Tuan was a university student, with the income he earned, he could almost support himself.
With student prices ranging from 500,000 - 700,000 VND for 2-3 hours of shooting, Tuan can earn millions of dong every day - Photo: N.AN
"I specialize in taking photos for young people, charging student prices. Due to limited time and having to go to school, I often take advantage of weekends or half-day shoots, with a price of 2 hours for an individual or a group of 3-5 people, only from 500,000 - 700,000 VND. This price is lower than that of professional photographers, but is affordable, and is recommended by many people" - Tuan shared.
As a professional photographer with his own studio, Mr. Hoang Hai (Long Bien - Hanoi) specializes in accepting all-day photo packages for individuals or small groups.
With a fixed price of 1.5 - 2 million VND for a day of shooting, Hai said that in the fall, young people often like to take photos at Hoang Dieu flower street, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum; and near Tet, Hoan Kiem Lake is a popular choice. Because this place is considered the heart of Hanoi, with Turtle Tower, Ngoc Son Temple, ancient The Huc Bridge, rows of old trees, and green weeping willows.

From Hoan Kiem Lake, you can conveniently travel to Hanoi's old quarter locations such as Nha Tho Street, Opera House, Dong Xuan Market... very suitable for the classic style of old Hanoi girls.
Along with this service, Mr. Hai said that his studio provides makeup services and full-package ao dai rentals with prices ranging from 3-4 million VND for small groups, with a choice of several locations around Hoan Kiem Lake.
Not only young people but also many tourists, even foreigners coming to Hanoi, want to preserve the beautiful moments of spring.
Therefore, Mr. Hai shared that for almost the entire month, he has had a "bumper" of appointments from customers, and on weekends he even has to hire extra staff after hours.

To meet the photography needs of young people and tourists, many flower vendors around the old town also move to Hoan Kiem Lake to sell and rent.
Colorful bouquets of flowers, especially classic flowers such as gladiolus, peach blossoms, lotus flowers... can be rented for 50,000 VND for 30 minutes; or flowers can be purchased for personal photography needs.

Similarly, some cyclo drivers also increase their income thanks to the demand of the muses who want to take photos of cyclos with Hanoi streets, around Hoan Kiem Lake, and locations around Hanoi's Old Quarter. With the price for a location of only 50,000 - 100,000 VND for each photo, it also helps many drivers earn a few hundred thousand VND each day.
