Crowds celebrate Halloween in Ho Chi Minh City’s 'backpacker area'
Friday, November 01, 2019, 12:48 GMT+7
It was a bustling night on Bui Vien – Ho Chi Minh City’s backpacker hub – and its adjacent streets, as Halloween hobgoblins celebrated the haunted holiday from Thursday evening until the wee hours of Friday morning.
Wild and wonderful witches and wizards, ghosts and ghouls, and of course, alongside every pop-culture icon imaginable, made their way to the neighborhood to show off their Halloween spirit as they partied the night away in the dozens of devilishly decorated pubs and restaurants that dot the area.
