The northern province of Phu Tho has worked hart to have facilities and activities ready in order to successfully organise this year’s festival to commemorate the nation’s legendary founders, the Hung Kings.
The festival will open on April 7 with the participation of several provinces nationwide, including Tuyen Quang, Hoa Binh, Nam Dinh, Quang Ngai and Dong Thap provinces, which represent the three regions of the country.
Some 5-6 million visitors will make the pilgrimage to Phu Tho to offer their respect.
According to Vice Chairwoman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Thi Kim Hai, a wide range of cultural activities will be held from Viet Tri City to the Hung Temple and surrounding areas.
The annual festival to commemorate the death anniversary of the Hung Kings was recognised as a national event in 2007.
