Due to the small stands, the number of tickets issued was small, many people had to stand outside the fence to watch the lion troupes perform.
According to the common concept of Eastern people, the lion symbolizes prosperity, prosperity and happiness. Lan is considered the second most sacred object in the quartet of Linh dragon, unicorn, turtle, and phoenix.
The unicorn team Vu Mien from Da Nang city performed the song “The unicorn crossed Truong Son to get the lantern for the boy”.
The Tu Cau unicorn team in Da Nang won the first prize in the apricot blossom competition.
