Visitors flock to Huong Pagoda Festival

This is one of the biggest New Year’s festivals in the Nothern Region of Vietnam. The Huong Pagoda Festival is expected to welcome 50,000 visitors today. Around 60,000 others previously visited the pagoda during the first few days of the year. This year is expected to break the record of visitor numbers, resulting in major traffic congestion. The local authorities have upgraded road systems and transport infrastructure to facilitate this year’s event.
