The first day of Book Street’s opening attracted a large number of people. The opening ceremony also included many interesting and diverse entertainment and knowledge spaces for children, families, young people and tourists, to participate in.
This is the eighth year that Spring Book Street is held throughout the Lunar New Year, to create more time for readers, residents and tourists, to visit and experience outdoor activities.
This year’s Spring Book Street will also include many exhibition activities, book introductions, and cultural performances, especially “check-in” corners decorated impressively with Hanoi’s spring atmosphere, promising to attract many visitors.
Many other activities will also be held, including introducing calligraphy art, Tet couplets, the organisation of picture colouring for children, a drawing contest entitled “Colourful Spring, Colourful Books”, the display of Hang Trong folk paintings, a Vietnamese chess competition, English speaking contest, and others.
The book street will last from January 16 to January 29 (the 25th of the 12th lunar month in 2022 to the 8th of the first lunar month in 2023).
