The Hung Kings' Temple Festival is a week-long expression of gratitude to the ancient ancestors of the Vietnamese nation.
The festival is held on the 10th day of the third lunar month at Hung Temple in Phu Tho province, outside Hanoi. On that day, a grand procession of palanquins and drums ascends Nghia Linh mountain, stopping at smaller temples en route to offer incense at the High Temple.
