A massive effort by villagers in the northern Province of Phu Tho has not only rescued the ancient form of dinh (community hall) singing, but also guided the way for similar efforts to save other parts of Vietnamese culture.
An estimated 6-7 million people are expected to turn out for this year''s
Hung Kings'' Festival, which will run from April 23-28 at Hung Vuong
Square in Viet Tri City, Phu Tho Province.
Authorities of the northern Phu Tho Province are exerting additional efforts to protect hat xoan (spring singing), which has been designated part of UNESCO''s intangible heritage sites.
The northern province of Phu Tho last week launched its tourism website at http://dulich.phutho.gov.vn and decided to establish a tourism information and promotion centre.
