In the context of an agricultural economy, traditional festivals of the Vietnamese people are usually linked to the cycle of crops. In the plains of north Vietnam, where two crops are gathered in a year, spring (early February to March) and autumn (August and September) are periods when paddy plants have already been transplanted and are waiting for appropriate weather to develop. The festivals held in spring and autumn reflect the peasants' hope for a bumper crop and prosperity. Festivals thus have a cyclical, seasonal character.

The Chua Huong (Perfume Pagoda) festival, the biggest and longest annual festival in Vietnam, was opened in My Duc district, northern Ha Tay province, on January 29, the sixth day of the first lunar month.

The Hung Temple is located on Mount Nghia Linh, in the territory of Co Tich village, Hy Cuong commune, Phong Chau district, Vinh Phu province.
