Tra Que vegetable village hosts Cau Bong festival

Annually, the festival is held on the seventh day of the lunar New Year. This year, this day falls on February 4.

The festival gives an opportunity for local people to express gratitude to the village's founders and pray for favorable weather conditions for the whole year, bumper crops and peace for Tra Que villagers.

Fifty-five year-old Ho Anh, a villager, said that local people were excited with the news that the village was named the Best Tourism Village in 2024 by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). It came from the villagers’ production efforts. This award, according to Ho Anh, was a source of encouragement for them to strive more to develop Tra Que vegetable village stronger.
