From early morning at the foot of Nghia Linh mountain - Hung Temple National Special Historical Relic Site, Phu Tho , many people around the area and tourists from all over the country followed the main gate to the ceremony yard and the Gieng Temple 5-way intersection area.

Many people from far away bring incense, flowers, and offerings to Hung Temple, hoping to soon go to the temple to burn incense and show gratitude to their ancestors.
