Miss Grand International finalists in Ao Dai tour around Hanoi

VOV.VN - Beauties of the Miss Grand International (MGI) 2023 pageant have left a hugely positive impression on both local people and tourists while dressing in Ao Dai on the streets of Hanoi and visiting sightseeing spots across the capital.

Sixty beauties competing at Miss Grand International 2023 don Vietnamese Ao Dai (long dress) in their trip to the capital of Hanoi.

On October 5 the contestants are excited about discovering Ngoc Son Temple, a tourist destination as part of Ho Guom (returned sword lake) relic complex in the heart of the capital city.

Vietnamese representative Le Hoang Phuong, the winner of Miss Grand Vietnam 2023, introduces the country’s famous historical sites and landscapes to international friends during their trip.

Many contestants express their love for the Vietnamese Ao Dai as they all believe that the traditional outfit helps to showcase the elegance, femininity, and confidence of women.

Representatives of Japan, Myanmar, and Laos come together to pose for a group photo in front of Ngoc Son Temple.

The contestants also visit the Temple of Literature which is located to the south of the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long. In addition to discovering unique ancient architecture and interesting historical and cultural stories, they also pray for good luck at the contest.

On October 6 contestants will participate in a programme themed “Hello Vietnam” and introduce themselves to judges and fans. On the following day they will travel to Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO-recognised world heritage site for a series of sidelines activities.

MGI finalists will take part in a gala dinner, a Q&A segment, and a Best in Swimsuit sub-contest to be subsequently held in Da Nang, Hoi An, and Hue. Its grand finale is scheduled to take place ahead on October 25 in Ho Chi Minh City.
