According to the People’s Committee of Tuyen Quang province, Tuyen Quang City Festival 2016, which is also known as Tuyen Quang Mid-Autumn Festival, will take place from September 9-11 with a mass parade of beautiful and giant lanterns made by locals.
The organising board said during Tuyen Quang City Festival 2016, sixty most beautiful lanterns, which simulate characters in fairy tails, colloquial stories and famous beauty spots of the country, have been elected for the parade in Nguyen Tat Thanh square in Tuyen Quang city.
Two of the lanterns are expected to be recognised as Vietnam’s records at this year's festival.
Following an opening ceremony on September 9, an art performance featuring the cultural identity of ethnic minorities in northern mountainous region involving 400 artists will be also organised during this year's event.
This year's event will be held in parallel with a tourism development programme themed “Through Northern Mountainous Heritage Areas”.
The programme will hold other festive activities including cuisine and Hanoi beer festivals, and a photography festival and a beauty contest.
This year's programme is expected to draw 50,000 visitors to Tuyen Quang. The city has encouraged locals to host visitors as part of efforts to meet their accommodation demand.
Through the programme, the six localities have attracted 32 million visitors in the past 6 years. The number of visitors to Tuyen Quang province increased significantly to 1.32 million from only 500,000 in 2010. The province’s tourism revenue also has increased 12-18% annually.
Tuyen Quang, a place of revolutionary history, owns various beauty spots and historical sites, including Tan Trao, Kim Binh, Kim Quan, and Lang Ngoi-Da Ban.
The “Through Northern Mountainous Heritage Areas” programme has been jointly launched by six regional provinces: Bac Kan, Cao Bang, Ha Giang, Lang Son, Thai Nguyen and Tuyen Quang since 2009.
