Shops on popular streets for selling toys in Hanoi like Hang Ma, Luong Van Can, Hang Combs are bustling with customers and a vast array of lively, colourful traditional toys.

Many toys once routinely imported from China are now produced locally in Vietnam.

Such as these scary devil and witch’s masks.

Or these star-shaped lanterns, associated with childhood memories of many generations of Vietnamese.

Paper lion heads and drums are also selling out fast.

So are lanterns in the shape of the Vietnam flag inscribed with the words ‘I love the homeland.’

Most customers prefer Made in Vietnam toys over concerns for the health effects of poor quality materials and workmanship defects.

Two young friends pose for photo in front of star-shaped lanterns.

Five fruit trays of locally grown produce are as popular as ever this year.

Every autumn this vendor says she returns to sell To he (toy figurines) on Hang Ma Street.

The forms of tò he figurines are taken from characters in cartoons such as minion, doraemon and superman.

There are still a few parents who choose Chinese toys for their children says this vendor because they like the design or eye-catching colours.

Foreign tourists line the streets to join in the fun of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
