Immediately after the opening ceremony, the cheers and encouragement of a large number of spectators heated up Na Son commune stadium. The "bull warriors" participating in this year's tournament were all carefully selected from the communes: Na Son, Xa Dung, Pu Nhi, Tia Dinh...
Thanks to elaborate preparation, the bulls entered the arena with strong physiques, solid support, and sharp horns.
The matches have offered the audience tense and dramatic competitions, creating a joyful and cheerful atmosphere in the first days of the new year.
According to the Organizing Committee, the bull fighting festival is a cultural feature that has been formed for a long time in Dien Bien Dong district (old). This is not only an entertainment playground but also an opportunity to honor good livestock households.
Through the contest, farmers have the opportunity to meet, share techniques and experiences in caring for livestock, thereby promoting the livestock movement, developing household economy and increasing income.
