In the atmosphere of the opening ceremony of the Song Doi Cultural Week, delegates, guests and young people who love culture had the opportunity to experience many rich activities, connect and spread pride in national culture at the Green Hair and Ao Dai Festival.

One of the highlights of the event was the Vietnamese costume display area.

The Nhat Binh, Ao Tac, Giao Linh, Vien Linh, and Ngu Than costumes are recreated in their original beauty, helping visitors better understand the aesthetic and historical value of each costume.

If just looking at it is not enough, participants can visit the ancient costume stalls to rent a set for themselves to "check-in". Females choose gorgeous ao dai, while some males choose unique soldier and servant costumes.

Not only displaying and experiencing activities, this year's Green Hair and Ao Dai event also organizes many attractive talk shows and workshops with the participation of cultural research experts and artisans in the field of Vietnamese costumes and traditional crafts.
