Quang Nam festival recognised as national heritage

Co Ba Cho Duoc, a festival to commemorate a woman who established Duoc Market in Quang Nam Province, has been recognised as a national intangible heritage.

Ba, a kind person who helped people in need, once went by chance to Phuoc Am Village in Thang Binh District, and, liking the area's charming landscapes, established the market.

The festival is held on the 11th day of the first lunar month every year. — VNS
