Cultural Heritage Week promotes Bac Kan's culture and tourism

The tourism week covers a wide range of activities, including a tourism promotion conference, an ethnic food festival, and the “One Commune, One Product (OCOP)” agricultural product exhibition.

The event, which is first of its kind, is being held with the aim of restoring the numerous tourism activities of Bac Kan province. Through Ba Be Tourism - Cultural Heritage Week, it is hoped that the function will allow the province to introduce the unique features of traditional local culture and tourism to both domestic and international friends whilst promoting greater tourism development.

It also represents a golden opportunity for Bac Kan to co-operate alongside other provinces and cities in a bid to strengthen ties in trade investment promotion and tourism as a contribution to the overall socio-economic development of the province moving forward.

The highlight of the event will be the announcement ceremony of the decision to recognize the “cap sac” (maturity ritual) of the Dao Tien ethnic people who reside in Don Phong commune of Bach Thong district, as well as the Bat dancing (Mua Bat) of the Tay ethnic people as national intangible cultural heritages.

Running until June 5, the event will feature traditional musical performances, a traditional costume show, folk and sports games, as well as both photo and painting exhibitions.
