PSNews- The Quan Thanh Temple Festival, also known as the Co Sau Festival, is celebrated from generation to generation of local people on February 15 (lunar calendar) in order to preserve Quan Thanh Temple’s history and value.

This year’s festival was held in 2 days, from March 11 (or February 14 of the lunar calendar) in Trung Khanh town, Cao Bang province.
