H'mong festival attracts visitors

The two-day event aims to nurture the traditional culture and cuisine of the H'Mong ethnic minority group that has been passed on for generations. A wide range of activities will be enacted by locals to introduce their life and customs including rites on the New Year's Eve, engagement rituals and coming of age ceremony.

Visitors will have a chance to get to know about the traditional "con" cloth ball throwing through a ring and Khen pipe performances. This year's festival will highlight Mong costumes as well as new games.
