People living in the Song Hong (Red River) Delta are preparing to celebrate the Huong Pagoda festival 2013, which a local official has promised will be the biggest ever.
Festivities will begin on the sixth day of Tet Holiday (February 15th) when visitors can enjoy a photography exhibition of ancient Vietnamese Pagodas and watch birds being released on the picturesque Yen Spring.
The festival – which is celebrating both the Lunar New Year and the beginning of the National Tourism Year in the region – will impress with a wide range of activities, exhibitions and spectacle following the theme ‘Traditional Features of Viet Culture”. The festival takes place during the first three months of the Lunar New Year.
