Head of the Management Board of the Ancestor Temple Relic, Truong Lam Thuy, said that the Ancestor Temple Vegetarian Festival takes place every 3 years. This year is more special as the festival has received attention from all levels and sectors, and a dossier has been prepared to propose its inclusion in the National Intangible Cultural Heritage List. This is not only a joy for the Chinese community in Dong Nai but also demonstrates the harmony of ethnic groups, religions, and beliefs, contributing to the preservation and promotion of local cultural values and identities.
