Nguyen Tien Khoi, director of the Hung Kings Temple Relic Complex, said to prepare for this year’s celebrations, Phu Tho launched the tourism festival “Returning to the Roots” on the sixth day of the first lunar month, featuring various activities such as folk songs, games and tours. Since then the complex has received a record figure of 10,000 visitors a day.
To facilitate pilgrims’ activities, the complex has coordinated with the local administration and relevant agencies to devise plans to ensure security and order, traffic safety, food hygiene and safety, as well as fire prevention and other measures to cope with eventualities.
Accordingly, they are hastening construction work of major projects at the complex including ensuring adequate rest rooms, water and electricity supplies and transport services, adding exhibits to the Hung Kings Museum and rearranging venues for business and cultural and sport activities.
Notably, the transport sector has opened a new road leading straight to the festival centre to ease congestion on existing roads.
The complex management board has also established a tourism service centre to control, guide and inspect tourism activities and built two restaurants that can seat 200 diners at the same time. More than 20 kiosks have been put up inside the complex to introduce Phu Tho specialities such as tea, bamboo shoots, wine, confectionery, and special agro-forestry products.
The death anniversary of Hung Kings, believed to be the founders of the Vietnamese nation, is organised on the 10th day of the third lunar month which falls on April 26 this year. According to Mr Khoi, diverse activities will be held from April 22-26 at the complex in Viet Tri city and adjacent communes.
After the festival, Phu Tho province will upgrade Thuong (Upper) Temple located at an altitude of 175m on Nghia Linh Mount. This is one of the most important venues for rituals during the festival.
