| On February 2 (the 5th day of Tet), at Khanh Hoa Provincial Museum, Nha Trang Antiques Club organized a market of old and antique items that attracted the attention of many people. |
 |
| The market is not only a place for buying and selling but has become a place for cultural exchange for antique and old item collectors in Nha Trang city and other localities in Khanh Hoa province. |
 |
The items sold here are mostly used. |
 |
 |
 |
| Visitors can find and shop for old items with many different types and prices. From precious items such as: Tang Dynasty kendy vases, Kangxi period powder boxes, Chu Dau ceramics, precious crystals... to familiar items such as: clocks, oil lamps... |
 |
The Qing Dynasty vase costs 50 million VND. |
 |
Old and antique items at this market cost from several hundred to tens of millions of dong. |
 |
A corner displaying various types of worship lamps and oil lamps. |
 |
A pair of Nam Thai oil lamps manufactured in 1938, priced at 12 million VND. |
 |
Stopping in front of a stall selling chicken irons, Mr. Nguyen Gia Trang (Nha Trang city, Khanh Hoa province) looked around for a long time and then asked carefully about the age of each type of iron. |
 |
"For the elderly, seeing chicken irons, old coins or altar lamps will bring back childhood memories. A market like this should be held so that young people who come here can also know about the old things their grandparents used. Those who can afford it should buy them as souvenirs," Mr. Trang shared. |
 |
The old money stall attracted the attention of many people. |
 |
Coins of different values are on sale at the market. |
 |
 |
Discontinued banknotes are resold for 50,000-200,000 VND/bill. |
 |
Mr. Pham Duc Hung (in Nha Trang city, Khanh Hoa province) said: Nha Trang has very few channels to introduce antiques and old items. A market like this is also a place to introduce antiques and old items, including modern items but with unique designs that make viewers like us feel excited. |
 |
Coming here, everyone seems to see an old Vietnam vividly appear, each object is a piece of memory of a bygone era. |
 |
Both buyers and sellers come to the market not only to buy and sell, but they also want to come here to admire the items as an elegant hobby in early spring. |
