In the days leading up to Tet, the young people of the capital are excited to transform into "muses" on the streets in colorful, flowing ao dai. Thanks to that, the streets are gradually decorated more brightly and become more bustling than ever. Welcoming the Lunar New Year 2024, let's join Travellive to review the ao dai photo shoot locations in Hanoi that are currently causing a stir on social networking sites.
Hoan Kiem Lake
Coming to Hanoi without visiting Hoan Kiem Lake is truly a pity. Hoan Kiem Lake is not a new place for Hanoians in general and Vietnamese people in particular. Every Tet holiday, Hoan Kiem Lake is decorated more beautifully and poetically than ever by the colorful Ao Dai.
Famous for its open space and many cool, fresh green spaces, Hoan Kiem Lake is a suitable place to take photos of Tet Ao Dai. Coming here, young people can freely check-in at impressive photo angles such as Ngoc Son Temple, Hoa Phong Tower, Turtle Tower, Ba Kieu Temple, Hanoi Moi Newspaper office...

Temple of Literature - Imperial Academy
Van Mieu - Quoc Tu Giam is located in the ancient space of Hanoi streets. This is not only a historical relic, a famous tourist destination but also attracts many young people to visit to take ao dai photos every Tet holiday. The highlight here is the nostalgic space, with medieval Vietnamese architectural style. In addition, the quietness and lack of hustle and bustle are also plus points for Van Mieu to be suitable for taking traditional ao dai photos in Hanoi.
The Temple of Literature has many beautiful photo spots, the first is the lotus pond with a simple Vietnamese-style scene, then Khue Van Cac and the doctoral steles, the most prominent feature of the Imperial Academy. In addition, two spots are the large courtyard with two rows of ancient wooden houses and the two-story Thai Hoc house.

Dong Xuan Market
One of the symbols of the times in Hanoi, Dong Xuan Market is located in the center of the Old Quarter, the busiest market in Hanoi. Near Tet, this place becomes more bustling than usual, not only with traders coming and going to the market to trade but also many young people coming to the market to check-in with Ao Dai, bringing back beautiful photos.
Each photo taken at Dong Xuan Market brings a unique beauty, which is simple and nostalgic, as if lost in the space of the old decades. However, this is also a crowded trading place, so when taking photos, you should avoid affecting the area where people sell goods.

Ta Hien Street
In the days leading up to Tet, people are bustling with people taking pictures and posing all over Ta Hien Street, creating an extremely bustling atmosphere. Ta Hien Street is not only famous for being a bustling street at night, but it also has a very suitable setting for taking photos of Ao Dai and old-fashioned, nostalgic costumes.
The characteristic of the small street is the contrasting architectural style between the two rows of houses, when one side is typical Vietnamese architecture, with the upper floor designed to be set back, the lower floor extended close to the street and the other side has French architecture, with the same sloping tiled roof. That is why, with the trend of taking photos of Tet ao dai with crow-beak scarves this year, Ta Hien street is the place chosen by many young people.

Cantonese Assembly Hall
The Cantonese Assembly Hall opened in late 2021 and has become an art exhibition center. Its current official name is the 22 Hang Buom Arts and Culture Center.
The space stands out with its decor of hanging lanterns in the middle of the yard, creating a nostalgic atmosphere, very suitable for the concept of taking photos in traditional ao dai for today's youth.
