Bac Giang Provincial Police have developed a traffic diversion plan to ensure security, order and traffic safety throughout the event. People are advised to follow the instructions so that the festival can take place in a dignified and civilized manner.

The enshrinement of Buddha's relics at Phuc Son Pagoda is an opportunity for Buddhists to see with their own eyes the relics, a national treasure of India, in the sacred space of an ancient temple over 400 years old.

Phuc Son Pagoda, located on Phuong Hoang Mountain (in Cao Xa Commune, Tan Yen District, Bac Giang Province), is an ancient temple with a history dating back to 1693, bearing the strong imprint of Kinh Bac Buddhism. The architectural highlight is the 45m-high Phuc Son Stupa with 13 floors, where the jade Buddha statue of Tran Nhan Tong is located. After many renovations, in 2023, the pagoda completed many items such as Tam Quan, Tam Bao, lecture hall, Buddha tower, ancestor house..., ready to welcome thousands of Buddhists and visitors from all over.

After being enshrined in Bac Giang, the Buddha's relics will continue their journey to famous spiritual destinations such as Yen Tu (Quang Ninh), Chuong Pagoda (Hung Yen) and Ngu Hanh Son Pagoda ( Da Nang ).
