The Thai Binh's Tran Temple Festival kicked off at the Special National Relic Site - the tombs and temple dedicated to the Kings of the Tran Dynasty, in Hung Ha District in the northern province of Thai Binh, on February 3.
After three years of suspending organisation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year, Thai Binh’s Tran Temple Festival has been upgraded to a provincial scale, with a series of rich activities taking place from the 13th day to the 17th day of the first lunar month.
Starting early in the morning, the ceremony of presenting a pair of cakes, recognised as the Guinness Vietnam Record, to the temple dedicated to the Kings of the Tran Feudal Dynasty was implemented.
This pair of cakes were made by Bao Hung International Joint Stock Company, with the desire to express gratitude to the great merits of the ancestors, in the cause of national construction and protection. At the same time, creating a special mark for the Thai Binh's Tran Temple Festival 2023.
