HCMC – Thousands of people gathered to offer incense on April 26 at the Hung King’s Temple within the National Cultural and Historical Park in Long Bình Ward, HCMC, marking the Hung Kings’ Death Anniversary.
As the day progressed, crowds swelled, with many visitors having to inch forward to enter the main sanctuary amid heavy congestion.
The event opened with cultural performances featuring offerings of local produce to the nation’s founding ancestors, followed by a staged excerpt from the folk legend Son Tinh–Thuy Tinh.Offering banh chung and banh giay, Vietnamese traditional rice cakes symbolizing Vietnam’s origin story, remained a central ritual of the ceremony.Following the formal rites, crowds continued to pour into the site. Many waited for tens of minutes, even hours, to enter the main hall, with access routes packed with people.Visitors patiently moved in long lines, each carrying simple yet respectful offerings such as incense, flowers, fruits and traditional cakes.Among them were elderly worshippers, young people, workers and students, all sharing a common intention of paying tribute to their ancestors. Many families brought children, reminding them to maintain order and respect the sacred space.After paying their respects, visitors toured the memorial complex.Beyond its religious and cultural significance, the event reflects the enduring value of honoring one’s roots, as traditional practices continue to resonate in modern urban life.
