Cultural, sports festival held for H’Mong people

The northern province of Lai Chau has for the first time organised a cultural and sports festival for the province’s H’Mong ethnic group. On the opening day September 1, a series of performances were given by nearly 200 professional and amateur H’Mong artists from several districts and towns in the province.
Selections in praise of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Uncle Ho, the fatherland, as well as the land and people of Lai Chau drew the attention of thousands of spectators.
Other activities, including crossbow shooting, tug of war, stick thrusting, pao throwing, and other folk games would also take place on September 2-3 in the provincial stadium.
Alongside these activities, original dishes of the H’Mong people and a photography exhibition would be on display.
