Hey @vuanhduong1611
congratulation for having completed the course and posted your project. Unfortunately, since I don't speak Vietnamese, I am not capable of giving you appropriate feedback (especially on the rationale) therefore take my criticism with a grain of salt because I will base them only on the aesthetic of your project, ok?
The mood board of Hanoi looks comprehensive and evocative. I can see the reference, in terms of colours and style, to traditional ceramics, which are very beautiful.
I appreciate the stylisation of the lotus flower and the dragon's tail. However, the graphic style feels a bit unripe, I believe it would improve a lot by spending a bit more time on experimentation of forms and sketchings.
I can see that you didn't "dare" to go too far from my project (in particular on the presentation style and on the box lid pattern). It's totally normal, especially when you are learning a new subject, to stick as close as possible to the teacher's examples. I did that too in the past, but at the time I had a very harsh and judgemental teacher (ugh I hated her so much!). I want you to know that I am not seeking perfection from my students, because the vast majority of them are here to learn something new, so it's normal to make mistakes. I actually encourage them to make mistakes, as long as they show that they really challenged themselves and that they put an effort into the "dirty job" of research and experimentation. Keep in mind that fear of failing is a creativity killer. Vuanh, I'd like you to give more trust to your designer capabilities, because I can clearly see from your project that you have a graceful design aesthetic, it just needs a burst of confidence to take off!
Other than this, the hierarchy seems good (maybe just the pencil case stands out due to the lightness of the pattern compared to the others, perhaps it could be denser, smaller scale and thicker outline?). The overall look is nice and evocative of the place you chose. Keep going man, a bit more exploration and daring spirit and you'll see quick improvements!
@giorgia_smiraglia thanks for your advice, I hope I will explore myself more and challenge to make mistakes. Maybe spending time for test and research than ever to see how can I achieve in the future.

Wow, I really love this, especially the notebook because it looks like a mixture of tiles. Congratulations!
