From early morning, over 300 people gathered at Doan Mon gate of the citadel to carry out the ritual. The incense offering ceremony included various traditional and cultural activities, such as palanquin procession, offering, dragon dance and drum performance.
In the past, the Kings held the spring ceremony to pray for good things, peace and happiness for the nation. In recent years, the Thang Long - Ha Noi Heritage Conservation Center has organized this activity with the aims of paying tribute to Vietnamese ancestors as well as honoring and promoting the traditional spiritual values of the nation.
