More than one million of visitors from across the country visited the
Hung Kings Temple historical site in the northern province of
Phu Tho during the Lunar New Year festival (Tet).
It has become a tradition for the Vietnamese people to express their
gratitude to the Hung Kings, the legendary founders of the nation at the
beginning of the year.
On the occasion, about 10,000 -15,000 visitors arrived in the site every day to respectfully commemorate the Hung Kings.
According to the site’s Director Nguyen Xuan Cac, some temples such as
Ha Temple and Gieng Temple in the site were improved to provide
better services to tourists.
Several other works in
the site are expected to be completed soon in order to celebrate Hung
Kings Temple Festival in 2012, which falls on March 10 in the lunar
calendar, or March 31 in the modern calendar this year ./.
