“Cuu Long Giang” has left a positive impression on viewers.

“Tinh Tang” by designer Pham Lam My has proved popular.

“Vu Dieu Tren Song Han” has been inspired from the lanterns of Hoi An City and the Vietnamese traditional long dress, the Ao Dai.

The standout feature of the “Mua Gat” is the yellow colour which represents the harvest.
