Mid-Autumn Festival of the Ly Dynasty at Thang Long Imperial Citadel

For the first time, the Thang Long-Hanoi Heritage Conservation Center recreates the royal Mid-Autumn Festival space of the 11th-12th centuries, vividly depicting boat racing, water puppetry, and banquets under the reign of King Ly Nhan Tong.

At the Thang Long Imperial Citadel Heritage Site, the event series "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival 2025" brought a traditional space combined with creative experiences, attracting a large number of parents and children last weekend.

Visitors can immerse themselves in their childhood memories through familiar folk toys such as lion drums, drums, papier-mâché masks, lanterns, paper doctors, moon-watching stick-playing men, etc. Children eagerly experience making star lanterns, rabbit lanterns, kites, and painting masks.

The highlight of this year's Mid-Autumn Festival at Thang Long Imperial Citadel is the exhibition space "Traditional Mid-Autumn Festival" and "Mid-Autumn Festival of the Ly Dynasty".

The "Traditional Mid-Autumn Festival" exhibition area includes stalls selling ancient Mid-Autumn toys, the most attractive of which are the antique lamps that have been restored by artisans in Thanh Oai ( Hanoi ) using photo materials from the Quai Branly Museum (France); French School of the Far East.

In particular, the Thang Long-Hanoi Heritage Conservation Center recreated for the first time the royal Mid-Autumn Festival space of the 11th-12th centuries, with a system of panels, paintings and artifacts vividly depicting boat racing, water puppetry, and royal banquets under the reign of King Ly Nhan Tong./.
