The beauty of Vietnamese culture preserved in folk games
With pedestrian zones in Hanoi now open again on weekends, a large number of visitors and tourists came to stroll around and shop. This is a positive sign for the development of the local economy in general and its tourism sector in particular. Many old folk games, such as tug-of-war and sculpting “to he” toys, were introduced to promote Vietnamese culture among local and foreign tourists.
