Bạch Đằng River has been etched into locals’ memories as a site where
national heroes struggled against foreign aggression. These included:
Ngô Quyền who planted sharp wooden stakes into the riverbed to defeat a
Chinese invasion force (938); Lê Hoàn (981); and Trần Hưng Đạo and the
famous generals of the Trân Dynasty (1288).
The ceremonies are comprised of the usual incense burning and offerings
in Trần Hưng Đạo Temple and Vua Bà Temple. The populations of the
village stage a procession along the banks of the river, and also have a

with the shouting of spectators celebrate the victories of days gone by.
Along with the boat races, other entertainment is organized for the
festival, such as wrestling, human chess playing, and cock-fighting.
