On the 10th day of the third lunar month each year, Hung Kings’ Commemoration Day is observed in various provinces of Vietnam. The worship of the Hung Kings, which falls on April 18 this year, closely relates to the ancestral worship traditions of most Vietnamese families. It was recognised as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2012. On the day, people from all walks of life travel to Hung Kings Temple or local places of worship dedicated to Hung Kings to pay tribute to the legendary ancestors and predecessors who fought against evaders and protected the country.
