The Con Son-Kiep Bac Autumn Festival 2019 kicked off in the northern province of Hai Duong on September 15 or the 17th day of the eighth lunar month. The festival aimed to mark the 719th death anniversary of General Tran Hung Dao (or Tran Quoc Tuan), one of the most revered figures in Vietnam’s history. The festival featured a range of traditional rituals and cultural activities such as incense-offering ceremonies and military parade with the participation of 1,500 fishermen and martial artists along with around 50 boats on Luc Dau River. The event aims to re-enact the Tran Dynasty army during the three struggles against Mongolian invaders and honour contributions of General Tran Hung Dao. VNA Photo: Mạnh Tú
