King Hung Temple Festival is a traditional festival that is considered the national festival in Vietnam. The festival commemorates the merit of the first King of Vietnam - Hung Kings. It's an occasion for every Vietnamese to remember their origin and express their respect as well as gratitude to the ancestors of Vietnamese people. It is from 8^th to 11^th of the third lunar month in Phu Tho Province. This festival is impressive because there are many people joining it. The main activities are: offering to Hung Kings, bamboo swings, Lion dances, wrestling and xoan singing performances. I like this festival very much because it is so meaningful and I also like its joyfulness. Joining the pilgrimage to the ancestral land of King Hung Temple these days has become a beautiful tradition of Vietnamese people.

Hung Temple Festival is a great festival, to commemorate the Hung Kings, who made the country. It has become a beauty in our Vietnamese spiritual culture. Every year, Hung Temple Association is solemnly organized with the "pilgrimage back to the national roots" of localities across the country to the land of To - Phu Tho. The festival takes place in the territory of Hy Cuong commune, Viet Tri city, attracting a lot of people from all over the country to gather.
The festival starts from the 8 th to 11 th of the 3rd lunar month. First of all, it is the ceremony, with solemn ceremonies such as offering incense, offering offerings from the localities to commemorate 18 Hung kings and their merits. Every year, during the Hung Temple festival, there is a palanquin contest of the surrounding villages. It is because of these processions that the festive atmosphere becomes more noisy and crowded. Children enjoy cheering and chasing after the group of people dressed beautifully in procession. Each village tries to put effort and money to create the most beautiful palanquin because people believe that if any village's palanquin wins the prize, they are trusted and blessed by Hung Kings.
