The festival is one of the 2010’s key programs celebrating the 1,000th anniversary of Thang Long – Ha Noi, aiming to honour and preserve the traditional cultural value. In addition, it is also an opportunity to introduce international friends to Viet Nam as well as Binh Dinh- the land of long-standing martial arts spirit and the homeland of the plain-clothes hero Quang Trung
This is a good chance for foreign and Vietnamese martial arts practitioners to study and exchange their experiences of Vietnamese traditional martial arts and learn more about Binh Dinh.
