Usually, the whole village gathers at the cultural house to wrap banh chung, some cut the leaves, some fill the filling, some wrap the cakes, some tie the strings... quite lively. Some places choose a house with a spacious garden to wrap the cakes. In the photo: People in Ky Chu village, Thanh Chi commune (Thanh Chuong) are wrapping cakes at Mr. Tran Duc Khieng's house.

The small, pretty banh chung cakes, made from sticky rice, green beans, pork, and banana leaves from the home garden, are delicious and safe. They are the collective effort of the whole neighborhood, and encapsulate everyone's best wishes for the children. Photo: Huy Thu

The cake-making night is also a festival night for adults and children. Hundreds of cakes are arranged in large pots and cooked right in the middle of the cultural house yard. The people who tend the fire, change the water, and wash the cakes are assigned very clearly. Photo: Huy Thu

Not only wrapping cakes, the hamlets also compete to make traditional toys. People with talent for cutting, drawing, and manual skills in the villages are mobilized to the maximum. Every night, in the yard of the cultural house, amid the sound of drums and bustling music, adults and children happily create together. Photo: Huy Thu

Traditional star lanterns are something that every neighborhood makes. Each neighborhood usually makes 2-3 large stars, with multi-colored flashing lights, and sets them up at the cultural house. Photo: Huy Thu
