Besides, the organising board wishes to arouse the spirit of solidarity of the whole nation and promote the good traditions of the nations, spreading the spirit of mutual affection and love for the homeland and the people of Vietnam.

In addition to the regular activities of the 13 ethnic groups at the village, there will be performances of traditional musical instruments of the Mong ethnic group and the Spring Festival (Nao pe chau), a festival of the Mong ethnic group.

After bringing their harvest home in December, the Mong put all work aside to celebrate the Nao pe chau festival with a line-up of cultural activities such as blowing khen, typical bamboo flutes of the Mong ethnic minority people, blowing Vietnamese bamboo flute and other folk games. During the festival, families and villages gather together to show their gratitude to their ancestors and Gods for supporting them to have robust crops and peaceful life.
