Cau River, also known as Nhu Nguyet River, originates from the Phja Boóc mountain range. The gentle river winds its way downstream through 6 provinces: Bac Kan, Thai Nguyen, Bac Giang , Bac Ninh, Hanoi, Hai Duong to merge with Thai Binh River. The river not only has a poetic beauty among the mountains and forests of Viet Bac, but is also a witness to many historical ups and downs, depositing alluvium for fertile fields, nurturing culture and history, becoming an important part of the life and soul of every citizen.

During the resistance war against France and the US, the upper Cau River in Bac Kan was an important part of the Viet Bac War Zone - "The Windy Capital". The people on both banks of the Cau River were a solid rear base for the great frontline. Today, the Cau River always retains its peaceful beauty, suitable for developing ecological, historical and cultural tourism products.

Permanent Vice Chairman of Bac Kan Provincial People's Committee Dinh Quang Tuyen delivered the opening speech of the program.

The opening program was a colorful symphony, imbued with the cultural identity of Bac Kan province - the source of the Cau River, while spreading the spirit of connection between the provinces in the river basin including: Thai Nguyen, Bac Giang, Hanoi, Bac Ninh, Hai Duong. The event not only depicted the cultural - historical - artistic depth of the land but also conveyed the message of the aspiration for sustainable development in the new era.

With a modern sound and lighting system, a unique floating stage, and the participation of many artists and hundreds of professional and amateur actors, the program brought a feast for the eyes and imbued with the identity of the Cau River headwaters.
