The Christmas spirit is already filling both passenger terminals at Noi Bai International Airport with festive colors and sparkling lights. One decoration that has particularly impressed passengers, especially international travelers, is a Christmas tree with a distinctive Vietnamese identity, created from traditional bamboo fish traps known as đó tre.

Made from simple, environmentally friendly bamboo, the traditional fish traps are carefully arranged in layers and decorated with lights, tinsel and colorful Christmas ornaments. Together, they form a striking and harmonious structure that sparkles at night. Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan, Deputy Director of Noi Bai International Airport, shared: “This arrangement also symbolizes solidarity, close connections, the sharing of love, and the appreciation that every individual and every unit has for our ‘SHARED HOME OF NOI BAI’.
