The White Thai ethnic group in Phong Tho district, Lai Chau province, holds a kaleidoscope of exciting activities every year to celebrate the Kin Lau Khau Mau (new rice) festival.
The third dugout boat racing festival was recently held in the Central Highlands’ province of Gia Lai, attracting thousands of visitors. The festival also sent a message about preserving the unique cultural values of ethnic minority people, who created dugout boats as a means of transport and for fishing.
