Perched at nearly 1,800 metres above sea level in the vast north-western highlands, Ngoc Chien Commune in Son La Province has preserved almost intact its natural ecosystem and indigenous culture. Hot mineral springs, tranquil villages, hillsides blanketed in blossoms, and an unhurried pace of life combine to create a truly distinctive landscape.
Party General Secretary and State President Tô Lâm offered incense in commemoration of Hùng Kings, the legendary founders of Việt Nam, at Kính Thiên Palace atop Nghĩa Lĩnh Mountain in the northern province of Phú Thọ on April 26 morning (the tenth day of the third lunar month).
More than a sporting competition, the event serves as a vibrant cultural festival, fostering exchanges and strengthening ties among domestic and international troupes, particularly from regions with strong lion dance traditions such as China, Malaysia and Hong Kong (China).
A series of cultural and tourism activities themed “Highland rendezvous” will take place from April 30 to May 3 at the Viet Nam National Village for Ethnic Culture and Tourism in Ha Noi, offering visitors a glimpse into the cultures of ethnic groups in the northern mountainous region.
