When mention about Vietnam, we cannot forget about one special day. The Hung Kings Temple Festival (The Death Anniversary of The Hung Kings) is held annually on March 10 of the lunar calendar to commemorate the 18 Hung Kings who founded Vietnam. It is an important activity for nation to complete a dossier to submit to UNESCO for recognition of the “Hung Kings Veneration Ritual” as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
It has become a tradition that on the death anniversary of the Hung Kings, Vietnamese people both at home and round turn their hearts to the ancestral land of Viet Tri-Phu Tho to pay tribute to their nation’s founders. At this year’s festival, the palanquin procession and incense-offering rite took place solemnly at Kinh Thien Palace on Nghia Linh Mountain in Co Tich Village, Hy Cuong Commune. Here is also one of important things about Vietnam you should not miss when visit here on these days.
At 7:00 A.M on March 10-2012 of the lunar calendar, the incense-offering rite was carried out at the central yard of the festival, the Lower Temple, the Middle Temple and the Upper Temple on Nghia Linh Mountain with the participation of the leaders of the Party, State and representatives of Phu Tho Province and many other provinces and cities nationwide.
