The story

Hung Kings Temple Festival in Phu Tho

The Hung Kings Temple Festival draws pilgrims to Nghĩa Lĩnh Mountain in Phú Thọ to honor the legendary founders of Vietnam. Palanquin delegations bring flags, drums and offerings uphill, with square bánh chưng and round bánh giầy recalling Lang Liêu and rice cultivation. The main tenth-day ceremony is devotional and commemorative, while xoan singing and other cultural activities may accompany the wider festival period.

Square bánh chưng and round bánh giầy travel uphill in palanquin processions as indispensable offerings to Vietnam's ancestral Hung Kings.
