The event created a opportunity for Hanoians to exchange and learn more about the life of people in Can Tho - a Mekong Delta city. At the festival, the children took part in many activities discovering the culture through the folk games of Khmer people.

Besides, the children were taught how to make Vietnamese traditional toys like “to he” (toy figurine which is manually made with glutinous rice powder); star-shaped lanterns and “den keo quan” (a lantern which spins around with vivid, rotating paper-cut figures); paper doctors…
