The father and son pairs of the show "Dad, where are we going? 2025" came to Ninh Binh .
Touch the heritage with real experience
Without going to museums or history classes, the children in the program were able to “learn” about Ninh Binh in a vivid and authentic way - through flags, wrestling, and oars on the Sao Khe River, through lanterns that they pasted with paper themselves, and through the sound of drums echoing in the ancient communal house yard.
At the ancient capital of Hoa Lu, the children participated in the game of capturing the reed flag - reminiscent of Dinh Bo Linh's youth, when he became sworn brothers, raised the reed flag and practiced with his friends.
Bean - son of actor Duy Hung and Cati - little daughter of Neko Le compete in flag-capturing.
Not stopping there, the children also made traditional lanterns, made folk paintings at Trinh Temple, and beat festival drums - activities that seemed old but sparkled with curiosity, pride and excitement in the children's eyes.

In particular, father-daughter pairs also experienced learning Xam singing from Ms. Nguyen Thi Man - daughter of the late artist Ha Thi Cau, who was once known as a "national cultural treasure" in Xam art. And organized a village festival at Co Vien Lau - a destination located in the buffer zone of Trang An World Heritage Complex.

Fathers "get tired" to understand village life
Not only the children, but also the urban fathers - famous artists such as Trung Ruoi, Duy Hung, Neko Le - also experienced for the first time the real slices of life in Ninh Binh countryside.
They stepped onto the Bo Vy village folk wrestling arena , rowed the Sao Khe river by themselves , and bailed out hundreds of buckets of water in the middle of the Khe Ha village fields . Some were strong, some were clumsy, some had to give up because… their daughter burst into tears and wouldn’t let her father compete. Every moment was genuine and intimate, just like the way Ninh Binh people still live, still preserving their traditional identity through each generation.

In the middle of a reality TV show, Ninh Binh is not only the backdrop for challenges, but also appears as a storytelling countryside – told through folk games, traditional festivals, country meals, and the smiles and sweat of farmers.
There, children experience sleep without air conditioning for the first time. Adults bend down to the fields for the first time and feel grateful for every full meal. Traditional cultural spaces are not only introduced, but also touched and lived together .

Perhaps, after watching the show, many viewers will want to return to Ninh Binh - not just to see the mountains or relics, but to hear the sound of festival drums in the communal house yard again, see children playing flag-catching, making lanterns, etc. Because in the midst of modernity, there are things that need to be preserved - not only for today, but for tomorrow.
