The 2010 Hung Kinh Temple Festival began on April 14, with many enriched cultural programmes. According to initial estimations from the organisers, about 400,000 people from all over had flocked to the historical relics site to attend the opening ceremony.
Impressive fireworks scenes from the night of the ceremony.
Many important government officials and delegates from Phu Tho, Tuyen Quang, Ha Giang, Thai Nguyen, and Quang Ninh Provinces, attended the ceremony. The music show titled "Sacred ancestral land of King Hung" was a highlight at the ceremony with the participation of more than a thousand singers, actors and folk artists.
After blazes of fireworks, the sound of the bronze drum officially opened the festival with many martial arts groups performing and holding festival flags. Hung Kings was then presented with many offerings from the people, descendants of the kings from all over the country.
During the ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Mr. Nguyen Thien Nhan said, "The anniversary of Hung King death - 2010 at the Hung King Temple Festival is a vivid symbol for the spirit of our nation's unity, where the past meets the present and the future of the nation."
The festival ends on April 24.
On the same day, the opening of the Culture, Sports, and Tourism Festival, in the Northeastern region, also took place. "In preparation for the 1000th anniversary of Hanoi, these two big events have contributed a big share in preserving and developing our culture and traditions, as well as helping introduce our country and our people to our international friends," the Deputy Prime Minister added.
The Hung King Temple Management Team said to DTiNews that the number of people attending the festival has dramatically increased, and is expected to welcome a total of 4 million tourists, as the Death anniversary of Hung King fell on a weekend this year.
"With our previous experience, this year, we had put into implementation many restoration and renovation projects before the festival, in order to meet the demand of the tourists when attending our festival," Nguyen Tien Khoi, Director of Hung Kings Temple added.
Crowds of people gather for the opening ceremony.
Different groups of different ethnic people came to take part in the festival.
