Western Street in Ho Chi Minh City turns into a 'ghost kingdom' on Halloween night

On the evening of October 30, thousands of people and tourists from Ho Chi Minh City flocked to Bui Vien Street dressed as ghosts and demons, creating a bustling, colorful atmosphere.

On the evening of October 30, Bui Vien Street (HCMC) was bustling and colorful as thousands of people and tourists dressed up to celebrate Halloween.

Because on weekdays, the walking street is not active, vehicles are still allowed to circulate, making the neighborhood more crowded and bustling.

Many young people dress up as ghosts, zombies, and horror characters. This image appears once a year at the end of October in areas where many foreign tourists gather to eat and drink.

Minh Tuan and Ly said that they go to Bui Vien every year at this time because the atmosphere is always vibrant and colorful. They both take the opportunity to capture many moments, both to preserve memories and to immerse themselves in the bustling Halloween atmosphere in the city center.

Bars and shops along the street are decorated with pumpkins, spider webs, skulls, mummies, etc., creating a creepy but no less fun scene.

Not only Vietnamese, foreign tourists also joined the crowd, took pictures, danced and enjoyed the bustling atmosphere.

Halloween takes place on the last night of October. According to Western culture, this festival follows All Saints' Day (November 1) and All Souls' Day (November 2), originating from the belief in the intersection between the living and the soul, and is also an opportunity for people to create costumes, decorations and enjoy the vibrant festival atmosphere.
