With the approach of Tet Trung Thu, which falls on the 15th day of the 8th Lunar month, hordes of Vietnamese head toward Lantern Street on foot or by motorbike. Most visitors are teenagers, plus a few families and very few children. Many young women wear colorful Rio or Venetian style masks, or “rabbit ears” to nab the crowds’ attention.
