The Lim Festival in the northern Vietnamese province of Bac Ninh, home to UNESCO-recognized 'quan ho' (love duet) singing, welcomed dozens of thousands of visitors during its two-day course on Thursday and Friday.
The event is held annually in Bac Ninh's Tien Du District, about 30km from downtown Hanoi, as a cultural spotlight of the province and one of the largest spring festivals in northern Vietnam on the 13th day of the first Lunar month (February 3 this year).
