At the ceremony, Vice President Xuan and other delegates offered incense to pay homage to Trung Trac and her younger sister Trung Nhi, along with their talented generals and soldiers, for their sacrifices to regain national independence.
The 2024 Trung Sisters’ Temple Festival boasts its largest scale ever and will run until February 19 (the tenth day of the first lunar month).
Notably, this year's festival will also feature a sound and light show for the first time. This is a semi-realistic art programme will use lights to create interactive image blocks in 3-dimensional space to reproduce the Trung Sisters’ Uprising.
The historical story is told in a modern way to connect the past, present, and future, conveying many messages and helping the audience learn more about the nation’s history in a practical and effective manner.
