Sharing about the reason for forming the idea and building the topic, according to Hong Anh, the Northern Delta region is considered the cradle of our country's culture, so here there are many cultural characteristics typical of the whole nation and the most prominent of which is the UNESCO-recognized intangible cultural heritage - Quan Ho folk songs.
