The festival is a religious ritual dedicated to the god of agriculture to receive his blessing for verdant crops and prosperity for villagers throughout the year.

Long Tong is a typical festival recognised as a national intangible cultural heritage. It has become a unique tourist product during each Tet and Spring season.

On this occasion, the Thai Nguyen Provincial Journalists Association, Thai Nguyen Newspaper, local press agencies and Dinh Hoa District organised the Spring Newspaper Festival 2025 with more than 1,000 Spring newspaper publications from central and local press agencies.
