On the morning of March 30, at the Hung Temple Historical Relic Site (Hy Cuong Commune, Viet Tri City, Phu Tho Province), the weather was cold with light rain, but it did not stop people and tourists from all over the country from coming to offer incense and participate in cultural, sports and tourism activities.

The closer to noon, the more crowded the crowd.

A large number of people and tourists, including the elderly and children, came to Hung Temple.

Ms. Phung Thi Hai Yen, from Bac Tu Liem district, Hanoi, shared: "On the weekend, I know it will be very crowded, but I still come with my family to offer incense to the Hung Kings, praying for peace, health, and all good things."

According to Ms. Yen, she has visited Hung Temple many times but each time has a different feeling. The relic site has been renovated to be more spacious and cleaner while still maintaining its inherent solemnity and sacredness. "This year, from the gate of Gieng Temple to the 5-way intersection, the reliefs of the landscape lakes have been beautifully restored and are an ideal check-in spot for tourists," Ms. Yen said.

This year's Hung Kings' Commemoration Day is expected to attract more tourists than last year, especially on the 8th and 9th of the third lunar month, which coincide with the weekend holidays of Saturday and Sunday.

The Hung Kings' Commemoration Day and the 2025 Culture and Tourism Week of the Ancestral Land will take place from March 29 to April 7 (ie March 1 to March 10 of the lunar calendar) at the provincial level, closely linking culture, sports and tourism. This is an opportunity for Vietnamese people to turn to their roots, fostering the spirit of solidarity and national pride.

According to the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Phu Tho province, this year's event includes many diverse activities, from traditional rituals at Hung Temple, unique cultural programs to attractive tourism activities.

The Cultural - Tourism Week of the Ancestral Land is not only an occasion to honor traditional cultural values ​​but also contributes to promoting the natural beauty and people of Phu Tho province. Famous landscapes such as Long Coc tea hill, Thanh Thuy mineral spring, Xuan Son National Park are introduced to tourists, bringing attractive travel experiences.
