What makes longevity at the largest Mid-Autumn Festival in the country

For nearly 1 month, the central streets of Tuyen Quang province have been brighter and more bustling on weekend evenings with giant colorful lantern models, which are the Mid-Autumn brand of this mountainous province.

For many tourists, coming to Tuyen Quang during the Mid-Autumn Festival has become a familiar choice in their journey to explore this land.

Ms. Hoang Van Anh (Hanoi City) said that in the past 3 years, she often chooses the time from the end of July to the beginning of August of the lunar calendar to come to Tuyen Quang to watch street light shows and experience the Mid-Autumn Festival atmosphere.

In 2026, I plan to explore the Dong Van Karst Plateau. On the first evening in Tuyen Quang, I stayed in the provincial center to watch the lights. This year, many new and more disciplined models are more than before" - Ms. Van Anh shared.

From 2025, to ensure traffic safety and be suitable for people's lives as well as tourists' time, street light models will only go on the streets on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings every week on certain streets.

In addition, from the specifications and size of the lamp model to the sound, lighting and costumes of the participants on the lamp models are also specified, in order to ensure traditional cultural elements and urban aesthetics.

I think that stipulating the parade time on weekends is very appropriate, it does not affect the children's studies, and on weekends there are also more tourists. The important thing is to ensure traffic safety and not cause congestion" - Mr. Do Minh (Minh Xuan ward, Tuyen Quang province) said.

Tuyen Quang province determines that the Thanh Tuyen Festival is not simply a cultural - entertainment event for children. This is also a space to promote images, promote tourism, connect investment, trade and introduce local products.

Through the Thanh Tuyen Festival, Tuyen Quang introduces to tourists a land rich in cultural identity, historical traditions, beautiful landscapes, and friendly and hospitable people.

Talking to PV, Mr. Do Hung Duc - Vice Chairman of Tuyen Quang Provincial People's Committee - said that the province's goal is to gradually build the Thanh Tuyen Festival into a unique cultural and tourism product, with a brand and nationwide spread.

The special thing that makes the vitality of the Thanh Tuyen Festival is that the people are both the subjects, and the creators and directly enjoy the values of the festival, creating a brilliant, different and rich in identity Mid-Autumn Festival space of Tuyen Quang" - Mr. Do Hung Duc said.
