Lantern Street is active from the beginning of the eighth month until the full moon day. The most vibrant time slots on the street range from 19 to 21 hours. “When I saw the kids, my parents were walking around the streets, buying toys, and returning with memories of their childhood. When I was younger, my parents took me here to buy moon cakes and saw all sorts of colorful lamps,” said Quoc Khanh.
The prices of the lanterns here are also very diverse depending on the material and size. Small, simple paper lamps range from 25,000 to 30,000 VND, with an average range of sophisticated models from 30,000 to 80,000 VND, with models with LED lights, larger or

What makes Luong Nhu Hoc Street special is the combination of traditional culture and modern life. Adults rediscover childhood memories in red glass paper, children enjoy holding music lanterns in their hands, while foreign tourists are passionate about taking photos and immersed in a festive atmosphere with traces of Vietnamese culture.
Not only can you shop, sightseeing and stop by visitors, but you can also enjoy cooking such as moon cakes, candies...it's diverse. Quoc Khanh said visitors should pay attention to storing furniture and avoid pickpocketing in crowded areas. You also need to bring a fan to give birth to your hand to avoid anything hot. Photo: NVCC

“This is still a business area, so everyone has to buy items, even small, cheap lanterns. If you want to take photos at the booth, you need to first ask for permission to keep your mind and ask to avoid getting in the way of other small businesses.”
In addition to Luong Nhu Hoc Street, Quoc Khanh suggested that visitors could go along Hai Thuong Lan Ong Street. Photo: NVCC
