My favourite festival is the buffalo fighting. It is annually held in Do Son- Hai Phong on August 9th of the lunar calendar. The most typical reason for the buffalo fighting festival is to express the martial spirit of the local people in Do Son, Hai Phong. The festival is attached to a Water God worshiping ceremony and the “Hien Sinh” custom. The festival starts with the worshiping ceremony. After that, 16 buffaloes and their owners are ready for the final. Each round, one pair of buffaloes is led to opposite sides of the festival grounds then they rush into each other. Each couple of buffaloes will fight three times to find the winner. The thing that I like most in this festival is the exciting atmosphere from the spectators. It is more than watching a football match between 2 famous teams.
