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.

The 2026 Tay Yen Tu Spring Festival opened at the Tay Yen Tu spiritual – ecological tourism complex in the northern province of Bac Ninh on February 28, attracting large numbers of Buddhists and visitors from far and wide.
