Lantern Festival - illuminating the Tinh Khe coconut forest at night.

In the enchanting setting of the mangrove forest along the poetic Kinh Giang River, on the evening of May 31st, the Party Committee, People's Council, People's Committee, and Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Tinh Khe commune, in coordination with the Quang Ngai Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, organized the Lantern Festival - Enchanting Night in the Mangrove Forest 2026.

Provincial and local leaders, along with delegates, attended the ceremony.

This is one of the highlights of the Quang Ngai Province Sea and Island Tourism Week 2026, attracting a large number of locals and tourists.

Mr. Pham Quoc Vuong, Chairman of the People's Committee of Tinh Khe commune, delivered the opening speech.

In his opening remarks at the festival, Mr. Pham Quoc Vuong, Chairman of the People's Committee of Tinh Khe commune, emphasized that the Tinh Khe mangrove forest was one of the important revolutionary bases during the two wars of national defense. The endless rows of green mangroves once sheltered cadres, soldiers, and local guerrilla forces, contributing to the glorious victories of the homeland. Today, along with My Khe beach, Thach Ky Dieu Tau scenic spot, the temple of national hero Truong Dinh, Minh Duc pagoda, and many other historical and cultural relics, the Tinh Khe mangrove forest has become a destination with great potential for tourism development in Quang Ngai .

A prayer ceremony takes place amidst the sacred space of the Tịnh Khê mangrove forest.

The site is recognized as a provincial-level historical and cultural relic, and is also a unique ecological space being developed in the direction of community tourism and experiential tourism associated with nature conservation.

The highlight of the evening was the prayer for peace and the release of floating lanterns on the Kinh Giang River. In the tranquil atmosphere of the coconut grove at night, thousands of lanterns were lit and gently floated along the water, creating a shimmering, magical scene.

Besides releasing lanterns on the river, visitors can also experience many attractive activities such as enjoying local specialties, exploring OCOP products, learning about community tourism models, rowing boats at night on the Kinh Giang River, enjoying tea amidst the coconut forest, and participating in traditional folk singing performances.

Amidst the shimmering light of thousands of lanterns in the coconut forest at night, the harmonious blend of nature, history, and culture created a special impression, enriching the activities of the Quang Ngai Sea and Island Tourism Week 2026 and spreading the image of a Quang Ngai rich in identity, friendly, and with great potential for tourism development.
