Visitors are prohibited from using drones at the Hung Temple Festival.

Mr. Luu Quang Huy, director of the Hung Temple historical site (Phu Tho province), said: "Flycams could fall and break if operated in this area. Especially with millions of tourists flocking to Hung Temple, as well as the Trung, Thuong, and Ha temples during the festival, if these filming devices malfunction and fall, it will negatively affect visitors."

In addition, Mr. Huy also stated that many tourists may not be familiar with drones, so hearing a flying object overhead and a buzzing sound could easily frighten them and negatively affect their psychology. The ban applies to both citizens and journalists covering the event.

According to the plan of Phu Tho province, this year the Hung Temple Festival will officially open from April 23 to 28 (corresponding to the 5th to 10th day of the 3rd lunar month). To ensure the festival is well-prepared, approximately 1000 police, military, and local forces have been mobilized to participate in maintaining security and order.

This year, visitors can also report information and grievances directly to the festival organizers via a hotline (0210.3860026 or 0210.6551666) operating 24/7. This phone number can be easily found on signs, billboards, and banners around the festival area.

Visitors attending this year's Hung Temple Festival will have the opportunity to participate in photo exhibitions on the Hung King worshiping tradition; an exhibition on the journey to becoming an intangible cultural heritage at the Hung King Museum in Viet Tri city; and cultural camps, folk art nights, Xoan singing and Phu Tho folk songs; and an exhibition of photographic documents from across the country dedicated to the Hung Temple…
