The Long Hung - Hung Ha region is the birthplace and founding place of the Tran Dynasty, a place steeped in historical significance and closely associated with the Tran Dynasty. It is where the Tran family rose to power and is also the resting place of their ancestors. Since the restoration and renovation of the mausoleums and temples of the Tran Dynasty kings, the Tran Temple Festival has been revived and maintained according to ancient traditions. The festival features many traditional rituals imbued with humanistic values, along with traditional folk games and performances rooted in the Tran Dynasty, which are meticulously and sustainably preserved. The Tran Temple Festival in Thai Binh, held annually from the 13th to the 17th of January at the Tran Dynasty's mausoleum and temple complex, is a spiritual and cultural event commemorating and expressing gratitude for the immense contributions of our ancestors in building and protecting the nation. It embodies profound humanistic values, cultural imprints, and great historical significance, harmoniously blending tradition and modernity, and showcasing the unique culture of Thai Binh's land and people.
