Many families go out early for Mid-Autumn Festival, Hang Ma street is crowded and bustling

Because this year's Mid-Autumn Festival falls on a weekday (Tuesday, September 17th), thousands of people have flocked to Hang Ma Street (Hoan Kiem District) since the weekend to have fun and enjoy the atmosphere of the full moon festival (Photo: Ngoc Luu).

The weather during the last two days of the weekend was quite cool, and Mid-Autumn Festival streets such as Hang Ma, Hang Ruoi, Hang Luoc, etc. were more open during the day, making it very convenient for people to have fun and celebrate Tet. Many families dressed their children in beautiful clothes, went shopping for their favorite toys, and joined the bustling crowd in the old town (Photo: Ngoc Luu).

“My child is only 1 year old, so this is the first time I have taken him to Hang Ma Street to enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival atmosphere. There are many interesting and colorful toys here, so he really likes it,” said Ms. Hoang Ngan (living in Long Bien district) (Photo: Ngoc Luu).

In addition to ready-made toys, Hang Ma Street also sells products that are processed on the spot, giving customers, especially children, a real perspective on the process of creating objects, pets, traditional toys, etc. (Photo: Ngoc Luu).

Mr. Cuong (living in Hung Yen) took advantage of the weekend to take his child to Hanoi to enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Old Quarter. He shared: “Because of the impact of storm No. 3, many places no longer organize Mid-Autumn Festival, so I took my child to the capital and bought star lanterns so that he could feel and enjoy the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival atmosphere. Hang Ma Street is very bustling and vibrant, everyone is cheerful and radiant” (Photo: Do ​​Minh Quan).

This year, Hang Ma Street is deserted by many young people. When asked, a few of those who had fun there shared that young people nowadays prefer to sit in cafes to chat, go out to eat or hang out at shopping malls instead of crowding into Hang Ma like every year (Photo: Do ​​Minh Quan).

Last weekend, the walking street was temporarily closed, motorbikes were allowed to move along Hang Ngang, Hang Dao, Hang Duong, Dong Xuan, Hang Cot streets... causing frequent traffic jams in the Hang Ma area, the ward police force had to regularly regulate and separate traffic to ensure a safe environment for people to enjoy (Photo: Ngoc Luu).
