Thousands of people rushed to Bui Vien Street in Ho Chi Minh City’s ‘backpacker area’ on Wednesday night to trick-or-treat themselves to the neighborhood's bustling, spooky vibes.
Bui Vien Street, dubbed ‘Westerner Street’ by locals, has spent years as the city’s number-one Halloween hot spot.
By 7:00 pm Wednesday night, every road leading to Bui Vien had been nearly impassible as thousands of people and vehicles descended on the street to celebrate Halloween.
