Nang Hai - Unique festival of Tay ethnic group

Update: 18/07/2022
Through ups and downs in the history, Nang Hai Festival of the Tay ethnic group in Tien Thanh commune, Quang Hoa district, Cao Bang province has been carefully preserved and promoted.

According to the Tay ethnic group’s beliefs, on the Moon, there is the mother Moon and 12 daughters who take care of the crops for the people on the Earth. Since the Tay people depend on agricultural products, they always pray for favorable weather and abundant crops.

Nang Hai Festival is held in early spring to invite Nang Hai (the daughters of the mother Moon) to the Earth and help people in their work.

Below are photos of the festival.
