The story

Nghinh Ong Festival Phan Thiet in Phan Thiet

Phan Thiết's Nghinh Ông festival is the biennial procession of Quan Thánh Đế Quân organized around Ông Pagoda by the city's Chinese-Vietnamese community. Temple rites, scripture and deity-receiving ceremonies lead toward a street journey filled with palanquins, dragon and lion dance, stilt walkers and martial groups. Its identity should not be confused with the whale-worship festivals that share the name Nghinh Ông elsewhere.

Quan Thánh Đế Quân leaves Ông Pagoda in a vast street procession carried by Phan Thiết's Chinese-Vietnamese community.
