In that setting, many young people, especially the "muses" in traditional ao dai, ao tu than, and modern ao yem dresses, have chosen Duong Lam as a "check-in" spot to capture the most beautiful moments of their lives.
What makes it even more special is that amidst the ancient Mong Phu village communal house, the graceful long dresses stand out against the backdrop of red bricks and dark laterite stone walls. Each step, each smile seems to breathe life into the ancient village, making it both youthful and nostalgic. Some choose vibrant red and yellow hues to evoke the festive atmosphere of Tet, while others prefer muted, gentle tones to blend seamlessly into the ancient beauty.
The area around Mong Phu communal house is bustling with "muses" dressed in traditional ao dai (Vietnamese long dress) posing for photos.
Beside the village well, in the Mong Phu communal courtyard, or among centuries-old houses, the "muses" patiently pose, capturing simple yet exquisite images: sometimes shyly beside a peach blossom branch, other times leaning against an old wooden door frame, their eyes sparkling with the joy of the year-end days. The lively laughter and chatter blend with the slow pace of rural life, creating a unique spring scene that is neither noisy nor hurried.
Visiting Duong Lam ancient village to take photos on the afternoon of January 18th, Ms. Ngoc Anh (Dong Da, Hanoi ) shared that in the days leading up to Tet, the place has a very different beauty: “ The atmosphere is both peaceful and gives the feeling that Tet is very close. I chose to wear an ao dai (traditional Vietnamese dress) for the photos because I felt the scenery of the ancient village was very suitable; the pictures captured both traditional elements and beautiful memories for the new year . ”
According to her, this wasn't just a "check-in" photoshoot, but also an opportunity to temporarily escape the hustle and bustle of life and rediscover the relaxed and peaceful feeling of the year-end.
A trip to Duong Lam during the Lunar New Year season is also a way for many young people to rediscover the feeling of Tet in the old days: simple, peaceful, and rich in tradition.
Also present at Duong Lam ancient village this afternoon, Ms. Thu Ha (Cau Giay, Hanoi) and her group of friends took the opportunity to capture the final moments of the year. She said: “We wanted to have a commemorative photo shoot before Tet, so we chose Duong Lam because it still retains a very traditional atmosphere. Just standing at the village gate or next to the laterite stone wall, you can already feel the atmosphere of traditional Tet.”
Meanwhile, Mai Phuong (22 years old, a student at a university in Hanoi) chose a modernized version of the traditional four-panel dress for her photoshoot. Mai Phuong shared: “ I like the feeling of wearing traditional clothes in such an ancient setting. Taking photos while strolling around the village makes me feel calmer and much more relaxed than in the crowded streets.”
