Go to Thi Cam village to watch the rice cooking competition.

On the morning of the 8th day of the first lunar month, as the spring rain gently falls, the people of Xuan Phuong ward eagerly participate in the Thi Cam Village Rice Cooking Festival to commemorate the village's patron deity, Phan Tay Nhac - a skilled general during the reign of the 18th Hung King.

To make fragrant, fluffy rice, the four competing teams had to go through many steps requiring skill and patience, such as: starting the fire, pounding the rice, fetching water, and controlling the fire... After the allotted time, the judges would score based on the quality of the rice. The winning team would not only receive a prize from the organizers but also be honored before the villagers as those who embodied talent, skill, and teamwork.
