Phu Day is one of the famous spiritual tourist destinations in Ninh Binh at the beginning of Spring. The combination of spring travel to Vieng market and pilgrimage at Phu Day has become a unique cultural feature.

On February 23, according to reporters of Lao Dong Newspaper, at the relics belonging to the Phu Day relic complex, a large number of people and tourists after visiting Vieng Market Spring came here to worship, pray for fortune and peace.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong (from Ninh Binh) said that every year her family arranges time to return to Viềng market for spring travel. After going to the market, the Hong market family will move to points belonging to the Phu Day relic complex to offer incense and pray for peace.

And at Tien Huong Palace, people lined up to wait to worship in the forbidden palace area - the place of worship of Saint Mother Lieu Hanh. Ms. Thu Trang (in Y Yen commune, Ninh Binh province) shared: "I lined up for about 20 minutes before it was my turn to worship inside the forbidden palace. Although crowded, everyone was serious, without jostling.

To ensure safety for people and tourists from all directions when coming to Vieng market, functional forces are deployed at traffic junctions to divert traffic, guide people to park their vehicles, ensure traffic order and safety, and limit prolonged congestion.

It is known that this year Vieng Spring Market is officially elevated to a festival, lasting from the 6th to the 8th day of the first lunar month and will be held for the first time. Vieng Market Festival is not only a market for good luck, but also a meeting point of tradition and modernity, a place to converge, spread and nurture the profound humanistic values of Vietnamese folk culture.
