Do Thi Huong Giang, a resident of Thu Duc City under Ho Chi Minh City, said she enjoyed wearing ao dai and came to the festival to snap photos in the traditional garment.
“I had a free weekend, so my friends and I deided to go to the calligrapher’s stall and snap pictures while wearing ao dai,” Giang shared.
“Wearing the traditional long garment of Vietnam gives me a lot of confidence.
“We spend our day creating some Tet memories together.”
