The app will allow people nationwide to follow activities commemorating the Hung Kings’ death anniversary and learn about the temples and pagodas in the Hung Temple Complex. Schedules of activities allow visitors to select suitable dates and destinations for their visit.”

A culture camp and a public art and folk music festival opened at the Hung Temple Relic Site on Wednesday. The culture camp introduces and promotes specialties of Phu Tho province and honors the locality’s folk songs, folk dances, and traditional festival.

These activities will educate people about Phu Tho province and the origins of the Vietnamese nation while paying respect to our ancestors.”
