Toys related to the sea and islands have proven popular to Vietnamese consumers in the run up to the Mid-Autumn Festival, which will fall next month.

In recent days, Hang Ma which is famous for selling toys and paper, especially votive offerings, has taken on a more festive atmosphere with the approach of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the 15th day of the seventh month on the lunar calendar.
This year, customers are not spending millions of VND on expensive votive offerings, such as big houses, cars and phones for their ancestors, but choosing to buy cheaper alternatives, such as clothes, shoes and hats, all made of paper, and destined for the fire.
Children's toys, in particular, have been popular this season, especially colourful lanterns with messages reinforcing Vietnamese sovereignty over the historical islands and waters of Vietnam. The image of navy men and the message, "I love Vietnamese sailors!" have been selling very well.
