VOV.VN - For the Khmer people in the Mekong Delta, the Ngo junk (longboat) is a cultural and religious symbol. The Ngo junks are always decorated with striking motifs and colors, each featuring an artistic pair of eyes and a distinctive mascot at the bow.

VOV.VN - The Ok Om Bok Festival – Ngo Junk Race is held in the Mekong Delta province of Soc Trang in the 10th lunar month, but some months before the festival, pagodas encourage Buddhist followers and young mento train for the junk race.
