The Hung Kings Temple Festival in the northern province of Phu Tho to commemorate the country's legendary founders is an annual tradition for the descendants to return to the ancestral land paying tribute to the Hung Kings’ contributions to national building and safeguarding. The festival and an associated culture and tourism programme, one of the country’s largest annual cultural and religious events, is taking place in Viet Tri city – which houses the renown temple – as well as various other districts and towns across the province from April 9 to 18 (or the 1st to the 10th day of the third lunar month). This year, it is made even more remarkable with the Ancestral Land Culture-Tourism Week programme, which includes main ritual ceremonies at the temple to offer incense to Lac Long Quan and Au Co – the progenitors of Vietnamese people and various cultural activities. Phu Tho boasts 967 historical and cultural relics, many unique scenic spots, and hundreds of distinctive folk festivals. VNA Photo: Tạ Toàn
