Enjoy Street Book Festival in Ho Chi Minh City on Tet Holiday.

 

The main theme of this year's festival is “Tradition-Present-Future.” A wide range of books from different eras in the history of Vietnam will be displayed, including contemporary works across various genres as well as rare ancient documents preserved for hundreds of years.

 

 

The book is an essential source of information for humanity

 

Each street features books divided into three thematic elements. Mac Thi Buoi Street represents the “Tradition” section, showcasing historical texts and ancient documents. Nguyen Hue Street emphasizes the “Present” section, including e-books and contemporary works highlighting the achievements of Ho Chi Minh City in various fields. The “Future” section is found at Ngo Duc Ke Street, where engaging activities for children will also take place.

 

The rapid development of digital media, such as the internet and television, has potentially reduced the number of book readers in Vietnam and threatened the reading culture. Events like this book festival are vital for preserving traditional reading culture and providing people with knowledge across a variety of subjects.
