The event aims to mark the 72nd Vietnam National Day (September 2) and to honor and introduce to both domestic and international tourists the unique cultures and custom of Vietnamese ethnic minority groups, helping enhance exchanges among ethnic minority groups as well as attract more tourists to the village.
The program’s highlight will be a Tet market in the Northernmost province of Ha Giang, where tourists could explore the quintessence of local culture and interact with local people.
During this special program, the organizing panel will recapture the atmosphere of a traditional boat race of Phu Tho province, an event which has been handed down from generation to generation and bears important spiritual values.
Visitors can also enjoy folk games and traditional festivals during the program.
Particularly, 60 photos of Dong Van karst plateau’s natural beauty and its people together with a big pair of the Hmong ethnic group’s pan-pipes will be on display at the event.
