Pen-brush opening is a tradition which has existed for thousands of years in Vietnam, when scholars and writers penned a line of prose or poetry to begin a new-year writing period.
The Nguyen Sinh Sac site, which worships President Ho Chi Minh’s father, in Cao Lanh city, Dong Thap province has welcomed over 100,000 visitors from home and abroad from January 28 to February 1, which falls on Vietnamese Tet (lunar New Year holiday).
The site’s managing board has organised a wide range of activities to entertain the visitors, including a photo and document display on Sac’s merits, an exhibition on traditional Vietnamese Tet celebrations in the past and at present, a rural market, a film screening on the Vietnamese Communist Party, and programme on promoting tourism in Dong Thap.
During the same period, the northern province of Quang Ninh has received over 800,000 tourists, an increase of 45% over the same period last year. The most visited tourist attractions in the province include Ha Long Bay, Yen Tu and Ba Vang pagodas.
