Son Tra festival brings Thai guests

SON TRA (VNS) — A performance troupe from Thailand will take part in the Quan The Am (Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva) Festival on Da Nang's Son Tra peninsula on April 5-7.

The event organising committee announced the special guests at a press conference on Wednesday.

The annual festival held at the Quan The Am Pagoda is one of the area's leading cultural events, calling upon crowds of up to 10,000 visitors in past years.

The main festival, which falls on the 19th of the second lunar month, includes many activities such as calligraphy, zen tea session, drum and local dance performances, a painting exhibition, a boat race and a folk music performance of bai choi (a card game in which players sitting in a hut simultaneously play and sing). — VNS
