Ancestor worship ceremony of the Black Lo Lo people

The ancestor worship ceremony is a traditional ritual of the Black Lo Lo ethnic group in Lo Lo Chai village, Lung Cu commune, Tuyen Quang province. The ceremony is held at the village cultural center on the 14th day of the 7th lunar month every year.

Following the ancestral worship ceremony, traditional dances will be performed by the young men and women of Lo Lo Chai village.
