The Do Son buffalo fighting festival in the northern port city of Hai
Phong will be recognised as a national intangible cultural heritage on
September 12 when the festival takes place.
The announcement will be made at the festival’s opening ceremony.
Hundreds of artists will perform to celebrate the event and re-enact the buffalo fighting on stage.
The traditional festival, which is held annually on the ninth day of
the eighth lunar month, not only expresses the martial spirit of the
local people, but also helps promote the locality’s image and tourism
potential.-VNA
