Hang Ma street gearing up for Mid-Autumn festival
The busy street appears quite different compared to the last two years when services were heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Mid-Autumn decorations, especially traditional and modern toys for children, are put on display. Star-shaped lanterns prove to be the most popular item, costing between VND10,000 and VND100,000 each. Some shops sell paper and frames for customers who wish to create their own hand-made lanterns. The prices of traditional toys range from VND10,000 to VND200,000 each, depending on their size and type. A mini unicorn mascot is valued at VND230,000, although the new product has yet to attract customers this year. The price of beautiful hair bands hovers at around VND15,000 to VND30,000 each. Some consumers choose to purchase a large number of items as they prepare gifts for their children ahead of the Mid-Autumn festival. A few shops arrange outdoor studios in an effort to serve consumers
