This is a special festival for the countries that have traditional New Year by the moon calendar. The event will have the participation of artists and musicians from Asian countries, including China, South Korea, Japan ... with the major content focusing on fashion, traditional music, spiritual life and others.

The organizers have invited Vietnamese fashion designer Le Thanh Phuong to join the exhibition, to introduce his ao dai collection. They said that they chose the ao dai by Le Thanh Phuong because his designs retain the traditional nature of the ao dai.
