- I like the Hung King Temple Festival a lot. It is held in Phu Tho province from the 8^th to 11^th of the third lunar month every year. It commemorates and worships the Hung Kings who are the founders and also the first emperors of the nation. It’s impressive because there is a procession from the foot of Nghĩa Linh mountain to the High Temple on top of the mountain. While you are there, you can attend a ceremony of offering incense and specialities to the Hung Kings.

I also like it because there are a lot of great activities there.
