| “ Vietnam bicycle “ - The Van Thanh Tourist Park of the Binh Quoi Tourism Village will organize a food and culture program called Ngay Hoi Que Toi (Festive Day in My Homeland) from 5:00 p.m to 9: 00 p.m on March 5, 6 and 7 to introduce special dishes and traditional festivities of the North, Central and South regions to Saigonese. |

Chiem Thanh Long, Director of
Binh Quoi Tourism Village, said this year’s program would add new
dishes to the North region’s menu. For dishes of the Central region,
Van Thanh will focus on dishes from Danang and Hoi An instead of
promoting too many dishes of the whole region.
“We not only want
to promote delicious dishes but also want to bring charms of rural
markets, funny folk games, traditional music performances and images of
trade villages to the city’s people,” Long said in a meeting to promote
the program in Van Thanh on Friday.
The organizers will prepare
colorful rural markets of the three regions. Via the rural markets,
visitors will see the customs of the people of the regions, and the
daily life of floating markets and vendors.
Visitors will have a
chance to enjoy cheo (Vietnamese popular opera), gongs, Cham dances and
Hue folk songs. Children and young people can try folk games such as
making boats by arecas of banana, making toys by coconut and bamboo
leaves, climbing the greasy pole and the bamboo pole dance.
Long
said the food program would introduce craft villages, including
villages to make wide baskets, or panniers, deep bamboo baskets and
rice paper.
“Guests can see craftsmen of the banh hoi (steamed
rolls made of rice-flour) Phu Long in Binh Thuan Province to make banh
hoi in Van Thanh and then buy the food,” he said.
Tickets are VND170,000 per adult and there are coupons for guests to buy food and drink.
