The northern mountainous province of Tuyen Quang will hold the Tuyen
Quang City Festival from September 5-7, with the participation of
performance troupes from the Republic of Korea, Laos, China and Belarus.

The street event will entail a range of activities, such as
sport competitions and musical performances, looking to promote the
province’s cultural and historical value, as well as attract tourists.

A parade of large, beautiful locally-made lanterns will form
part of the Tuyen Quang City Festival which is held annually, often on
the occasion of the Mid -Autumn Festival of children.

Giant
lantern – an indispensible object enticing children during their
festival, has contributed to the naming of the Tuyen Quang City Festival
as the one having the biggest lanterns by the Vietnam Guinness Book.

Tuyen Quang has more than 300 places of interest, including the
nationally important sites of Tan Trao, Kim Binh, Kim Quan, and Lang
Ngoi – Da Ban.

Steeped in revolutionary history and diverse
ethnic cultures, Tuyen Quang is celebrated as a place of cultural
exchange for ethnic minorities in the North, and is featured in
traditional festivals, legends and folksongs.-VNA
