Around the year, there are so many different festivals in Viet Nam, such as: Hung King Temple festival, Huong pagoda festival, Thanh Giong festival and so on. But the festival I like most is the buffalo- fighting festival. It is held every January in lunar year in Hai Luu commune, Song Lo district, Vinh Phuc province. Last year, I was very happy to attend this festival. From very early in the morning, hundreds of people from Song Lo district as well as other district and some even from Ha Noi capital coming to the festival. All of them were so excited to join the festival. At about eight a.m, the fights began. Each pair of strong and good- looking buffaloes started to fight against each other. When fighting, the buffaloes attack face to face, using their horns and strength to defeat their rivals. They never attack from the sides or behind. The winner was the buffalo that killed or drove away its rival. After the fight, all the buffaloes were killed for food. They were sold at very high price, especially the meat of the winning buffalo. It was about two milion dong per kilo. I hope next year I will be able to come to this festival again.
Five years ago, I attended a very big festival in Ha Noi. It's called 1000th Anniversary of Thang Long - Ha Noi Festival. There are a lot of activities in this festival such as fireworks display, military parade, music performances, ect. It was organized very splendidly because the organizers are the Viet Nam government. Millions of people came to Ha Noi to participate in this great festival. It was held for ten days from October 1st 2015 to October 10th 2015. I saw lots of fireworks, parties, parades during these days. It was interesting. I took so many pictures on this festival because there were plenty of beautiful scenes. We organized this great festival to celebrate the 1000th anniversary of Thang Long - Ha Noi.
