The offering ritual at Nang Han Temple.
Before the ceremony took place, incense and offerings were presented at Linh Son Thuy Tu Temple and Nang Han (Miss Han) Temple. The ritual expressed gratitude to the ancestors who founded the hamlets and communities, while also aiming at praying for peace, unity, favourable weather, and prosperity.

Right after the traditional offering part, the ceremony honouring the heritage was solemnly held at the commune’s communication - culture centre, along with a series of vibrant and engaging activities imbued with the rich cultural identity of the White Thai community in Quynh Nhai.
Notably, a culinary contest featured 23 teams representing local agencies, units, offices, and schools. The food trays were arranged in the style of the “Tet xip xi” ritual, with many traditional dishes such as boiled duck, stewed black canarium fruit, grilled fish, five-coloured sticky rice, hump-shaped chung (sticky rice) cake, along with specialties like grilled chicken and smoked meat.
