Hundreds of people waited for hours to buy traditional moon cakes at a famous, long-standing shop on Thuy Khue Street, Hanoi. Despite the pouring rain, many people still patiently lined up to buy the cakes.

At 2:30 p.m. on September 27, two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, a line of people stretched hundreds of meters long, patiently waiting for their turn to buy moon cakes on Thuy Khue Street (Tay Ho District). (Source: Ngoi Sao)

To ensure there is no crowding, the store security guards set up a rope and customers’ motorbikes to form a barrier so that people can line up in an orderly manner. Only 4 people are allowed to buy bread at a time to avoid chaos and loss of control. (Source: Ngoi Sao)

Currently, the shop sells many types of cakes such as sticky rice-flavored green bean mooncakes, mixed cakes with roasted chicken, green beans with salted eggs, and ancient mixed cakes with ham and salted eggs... Because they do not use preservatives, the shelf life of the cakes is short: 7 days for sticky rice cakes and 15 days for baked cakes. (Source: Ngoi Sao)

Workers continuously transport packaging from the store across the street to the bakery to serve customers' shopping needs. (Source: Ngoi Sao)

Demand is so high that on average each person waits 1-2 hours to buy a pair of cakes. (Source: Ngoi sao)
