With the theme of “Lang Son Peach Blossoms Festival – Quintessence Convergence, Spring Colour Spread”, the festival aims to promote Lang Son as the land of peach blossoms, turning them into a symbol of the province and becoming a key promotional tool for local tourism.

The highlight of the event is the display of over 700 of the most beautiful peach trees in full bloom.

Artistic performances will include Then singing, lion dances, and folk games. In addition, the festival also features performances by art troupes from China, Japan and the Republic of Korea (RoK).

On the occasion, the organising board awarded the most beautiful peach blossom prize to Cao Loc District People's Committee and Tam Thanh Ward People's Committee, Lang Son City.
