In mid-January, Bac Ninh comes alive with the festive season. The Lim Festival in the Year of the Horse 2026 has continued to attract large numbers of local residents and visitors from across the country, while also leaving its mark through increasingly civilised and modern organisation, particularly the effective use of digital media to promote and disseminate the values of quan ho heritage.

In the Spring of Binh Ngo 2026, the area around Hoan Kiem Lake and the Ha Noi Old Quarter will come alive with vibrant colours through a series of activities under the programme “Vietnamese Tet – Tet in the Old Quarter”, spreading across spring markets, ancient houses, communal temples and traditional procession routes. Traditional Tet is expressed through displays and hands-on practices, becoming vivid and alive within the community.
