Themed “Vietnam – A Country of Dragons”, the festival depicts Vietnamese culture in various forms such as performances of dragon dance, music played on traditional musical instrument like monochords, 16-chord zithers and flutes, and folk singing including Quan ho (love duet) and Cheo (popular opera).
