VTV.vn - On Wednesday morning, the Trần Thương Temple Festival was held in Lý Nhân District, Hà Nam Province. Trần Thương Temple is where Trần Hưng Đạo is worshipped.

He chose the current location of the temple as a food storehouse when he led Vietnam's resistance war against the Mongol invasions in the 13th century.

For hundreds of years, locals have held this annual festival in the middle of every eighth lunar month. The festival features a palanquin parade and rituals to commemorate Vietnam's national heroes. Attendees can play folk games and enjoy art performances such as cooking competitions and folk singing.
