Local children, many of whom are disabled or orphaned, were offered chances to savor traditional culture through folk games, traditional toys, and folk musical shows.

The children partook in a large-scale lantern procession around Hoan Kiem Lake and an art performance and lion dance show at the Ha Noi Children’s Palace.

On the occasion, children with outstanding academic achievements, disadvantaged children, and children of martyrs and war invalids, received many gifts from local authorities and donors.
