On the morning of March 30th, the weather in the Hung Temple area ( Phu Tho province ) was characterized by light rain, drizzle, and cold temperatures, but a large number of locals and tourists from all over the country made a pilgrimage to the ancestral land to offer incense and commemorate the Hung Kings, even though the Hung Kings' death anniversary was still more than a week away.

From around 8 a.m., the number of people and tourists making pilgrimages to Hung Temple gradually increased.

The main parking lot next to the gate of the Hung Temple Historical Site was also packed with cars.

Due to the large crowds, authorities set up soft barriers in the courtyard of the Public House to regulate people's access to the temples.

At the same time, loudspeakers were used to inform the public about ensuring security and safety while offering incense.

For the Hung Kings Commemoration Day in 2025, officials, civil servants, and employees will have a three-day holiday because the 10th day of the third lunar month falls on a Monday (April 7th in the Gregorian calendar), and the two following Saturday and Sunday are naturally days off.
