An exhibition, themed “Lotus in Vietnamese cultural life”, is taking place at the Vietnam National Village for Ethnic Culture and Tourism at the Dong Mo Tourism Area in Son Tay Town, Hanoi, on April 16-19.
The event is a practical activity to celebrate the 2022 Vietnam Ethnic Group Cultural Day.
At the event, thousands of fresh lotus flowers from Dong Thap and Hue as well as the lotus made of natural materials will create a beautiful scene for visitors to take photos.
Professional and amateur models will show graceful designs of Ao Dai (Vietnamese traditional long dresses) with patterns of lotus.
In addition, 100 photos of lotus by domestic photographers, which were selected from 500 photos of lotus collected by Nguyen Thi Thanh Tam, Director of the Fund for Cultural Heritage Conservation, will be displayed at the exhibition.
Notably, visitors to the exhibition can learn about making traditional products such as lotus tea, candy and bisque.
The event aims to honour the image of the lotus associated with the cultural life of Vietnamese people.
