Cultural activities celebrate Hanoi’s liberation anniversary

Visitors to the event, part of the activities to celebrate the capital city’s 64th liberation anniversary (October 10, 1954-2018), were introduced to various traditional jewellery crafts in the city as well as in Hai Duong, Bac Ninh and Thai Binh provinces.

The exhibition displays a large number of traditional craft products showing the talents and enthusiasm of Hanoi artisans. The process of making the products is also performed.

Visitors also have a chance to meet and talk with artisans from trade villages to get a deeper understanding on the tradition and quintessence of the crafts.

Tran Thuy Lan, Vice Director of the Hanoi Old Quarter Management Board, said the organizers hope that Kim Ngan temple will become a venue for artisans to meet and exchange experience, thus attracting more visitors to Hanoi old quarters and promoting craft villages in Hanoi.
