(BGO) – Bac Giang – part of the Kinh Bac heritage land, boasts a great number of cultural identities, which are saliently featured in local spring festivals.
The bustling atmosphere of spring festivals is seen in ancient communal houses and pagodas in ancient villages along rivers, quan ho (love duet) singing or “Sli”, “Luon”, and “Soong hao” tunes of ethnic minority groups in mountainous areas.
