A garden in Ho Chi Minh City displays hundreds of glowing pumpkins with human faces at night, promising to bring something new to the Halloween festival.
 |
In early October, a pumpkin garden preparing for Halloween opened in front of a shopping mall in Binh Tan district, Ho Chi Minh City. |
 |
The garden is set up in a village style with hundreds of pumpkins lining the straw-covered path. |
 |
Fake pumpkins carved into faces with funny eyes, noses, and mouths are stacked on top of each other. |
 |
Besides, real pumpkins are also placed on the smooth green grass. |
 |
Many real pumpkins mixed with plastic ones lie quite naturally hidden on the grass and straw. |
 |
On display since early October, some of the fruit are indeed slowly deteriorating. |
 |
The cart was loaded with ripe pumpkins, others were lying around. |
 |
The cart was loaded with a giant pumpkin in the center of the garden. |
 |
At night, they are lit by electric lights, so they are more sparkling. Pumpkins are known as an indispensable symbol of Halloween in Western countries at the end of October every year. |
 |
It is believed that on this holiday the souls of the dead will visit their homes, leaving messages in their dreams. Therefore, they will hang a pumpkin lantern with a ghostly face carved into it on their front door. |
 |
A candle is lit in the pumpkin in the hope that the souls and demons returning from the dead on this day will have light to find their way without disturbing the homeowner. |
 |
Pumpkins are located around the oddly shaped houses, recreating images from fairy tales. |
 |
The house is decorated with an image of a "witch with a flying broom". Witches are an image that many people choose to dress up as on Halloween. |
 |
The garden space is not large but is designed quite beautifully, attracting many visitors to come and have fun and take pictures. |
 |
Many young people try to pose with pumpkins to take impressive Halloween photos. |
