Ly Son Island to celebrate First Culture Tourism Week
The central province of Quang Ngai will hold the 1st Ly Son
Culture Tourism Week from June 29 to July 3, the Ly Son district People’s
Committee said recently.
The week will feature a wide range of culture, sports, and tourism activities,
aimed at providing meaningful and impressive events to both locals and foreign
tourists. An exhibition entitled Ly Son - Di San Van Hoa Bien Dao (Ly Son -
Islands and Sea Culture Heritage) will be one of the highlights of the week.
The exhibition will display photos of daily life and beautiful landscapes in Ly
Son Island, as well as maps and documents on Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly)
Islands. The maps and the documents are seen as historical and legal evidence
proving Vietnamese sovereignty over the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos.
The exhibition also makes use of digital 3D technology.
The event aims to set a Vietnamese record with about 3,000 people singing the
national anthem. It also features a human formation of the national flag on Hang
Cau Beach, while about 1,000 tourists will participate in a music festival
during the week.
A traditional boat-race will be held, with boats named after the four sacred
animals – the dragon, unicorn, turtle, and phoenix. A boat-race has
traditionally been organised between the fourth and eighth days of the Lunar New
Year to commemorate ancestors and combatants who sacrificed their lives to
safeguard national sovereignty over the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos.
A ceremony to recognise Be Island as one of the province’s relics will also be
held. Be Island (Small Island) is one of three islands in the Ly Son island
district. The week will also feature a night food market, which has been open
since early May. It is expected to attract tourists, with 40 booths selling
souvenirs, dried seafood, local cuisine and other specialties of the island.
"Transport services in the district are capable of transporting tourists to the
culture tourism week, with 12 express ships offering about 1,450 seats in
total," Nguyen Thanh, Chairman of the People’s Committee, said at a press
conference.
"Different kinds of vehicles in Ly Son Island are also prepared to serve about
3,000 people every day,” he said.
The opening ceremony will be held at the Ly Son district centre at 7 pm on June
29..
