At the same time, this is the year of the Party Congresses at all levels, the 16th Provincial Party Congress, and the 6th Provincial Emulation Congress. The vibrant political and social atmosphere has created a favorable foundation for the province to organize large-scale cultural programs, spreading the spirit of innovation and responsibility within the community.
Following a series of successful cultural and artistic events and programs that received the support of locals and tourists, the province continues to organize a series of attractive and vibrant events at the end of 2025. A significant milestone in the province's cultural field is the official recognition of the Yen Tu - Vinh Nghiem - Con Son - Kiet Bac Cultural Heritage Complex as a World Cultural Heritage site. To commemorate this important event, from December 18-22, the province will organize a series of key activities at Yen Tu, most notably the commemoration ceremony for the 717th anniversary of the passing of Emperor Tran Nhan Tong into Nirvana and the ceremony to receive the World Cultural Heritage certificate.
Within the framework of the Grand Ceremony, many activities were organized, such as: the 7th "Yen Tu - Source of Wisdom" retreat; a lantern festival in remembrance; and a ceremony of offering prayers to Buddha and ancestors, and circumambulating the Hue Quang pagoda. The Grand Ceremony took place on December 20th, the same day as the ceremony to receive the World Cultural Heritage certificate at Minh Tam Square, Yen Tu Scenic Area.

The large-scale program is expected to attract over 10,000 people and will be broadcast live on VTV. Following the certificate ceremony will be a spectacular artistic program, featuring a modern stage design and performances by famous and established singers from Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, and Bac Ninh.
According to Mr. Nguyen Viet Dung, Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Department has assigned specific tasks to relevant departments and units; coordinating with the Departments of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Hai Phong City and Bac Ninh Province to organize the event.

With free entry for locals and tourists, the program is expected to attract around 10,000 people, promising an "explosive" experience with a series of activities, such as: a unique food festival, showcasing regional specialties, a series of lucky draw games and artist interactions. Immediately afterwards, on December 31st, an art program (Countdown) to welcome the new year 2026, combined with celebrating the 80th anniversary of the first General Election, will also take place at 30/10 Square (Ha Long Ward). It is expected to attract 50,000 attendees and will be broadcast live on QTV1 and QTV3.
