Tens of thousands of Buddhists from inside and outside the province and people from all walks of life in the region came to participate in the festival.
Procession
Gam Temple-Chua is a spiritual ecological area built on a large area, especially the 150-hectare special-use primeval forest reserve including Gam Ru with a peak over 200 m above sea level, with a system of architectural works in the style of Truc Lam Zen Monastery.
The new feature of this year's procession is that all the clans in Xuan Thanh commune have a palanquin carrying the royal decree of their ancestors, demonstrating the long-standing tradition and unique culture of the once famous countryside of Xuan Nguyen and Ke Gam, demonstrating the spirit of spiritual unity in the rice homeland of Yen Thanh.
