Son holy site in anticipation of the 10th anniversary of the UNESCO-recognised
world heritage sites.
Particularly, a map of Vietnam made from 1,000 gold dragons worth nearly VND 1
billion will be the highlight of the week. The map, made by a goldsmith in the
central province of Quang Nam, measures six metres in height and three metres in
width. The country is shaped into a dragon looking towards the East Sea.

The week will also include Quang Nam’s traditional costume show, folk arts and
games performance as well as the introduction of the provincial culinary arts
with its specialties, such as “Cao Lau” (pork noodle soup), “banh beo” (bloating
fern-shaped cakes) and “banh bao” and “banh vac” (white rose).
Performances entitled ‘A Night in Hoi An’s Old Quarter’ and ‘A Night in My Son’
held during the festival will resurrect the streets of 17th century Hoi An and a
jubilant traditional festival in the My Son sanctuary.
According to the statistics of Quang Nam’s tourism sector, the province has
