Hello everyone. Haideng is now at Dencon Temple in Nayan. Today is the 20th day of the lunar month and I came here to cover the Dencon Festival. The Dencon Festival runs from the 19th to the 21st day of the lunar month. Tomorrow will be the main day of the Dencon Festival. Now please follow Haideng as we go inside and visit Dencon Temple in Nayan. Yes, everyone, these are the scenes outside Dencon Temple. You can see locals are coming to Dencon Temple in quite large numbers. It is now the afternoon of the 20th day of the lunar month and tomorrow will be the main festival day at Dencon Temple. Outside here there are many boats moored and the boats are beautifully decorated. These are boats of locals who go offshore fishing. Today they are moored here and decorated for the festival. Let's walk around and take in the outside view of Dencon Temple. Right ahead is Dencon Temple. Dencon Temple was built during the Tran Dynasty. It was later expanded during the later Le Dynasty. It was restored and renovated the most during the Nguyen Dynasty. That is why the temple's architecture has the feel of temple and pagoda architecture. More from the Nguyen and Le periods. Up there, you can see the view in front of Dencon Temple. The weather today is sunny, but there's a cool breeze. Dencon Temple is right by the river mouth, so the sea breeze here feels very cool. People are climbing onto the boats here. This area has a lot of moored boats. Most locals here work offshore, fishing at sea. So there are a lot of moored boats here. Last May, Hai Dang also made a Vietnam journey and filmed some scenes. From above the Hong Mai area. You can look back at those scenes from Hai Dang's Vietnam trip. In episode 1 of Hai Dang's journey across Vietnam, you'll see footage of the Hong Mai river mouth area. The music is picking up and getting lively. Ahead, Hai Dang sees the palanquins lined up here, ready for tomorrow morning's conga rituals. Hai Dang can see the So many palanquins have already been prepared here.

Hai Dang will move to the market area to see what the atmosphere at Dencon is like. Earlier, Hai Dang saw that it was very crowded. Yesterday and today, many sports events have been held for the festival. Tomorrow will be the ceremonial part. Tomorrow's rituals will include the conga ride and some other ceremonies. These are typical of the Dencon area. It's very crowded in here. Festival goers are bustling about all around. This area sells food, drinks, and souvenirs. Every festival needs places like this. This area serves the people. Besides food and drinks, there are also souvenirs. Very crowded. From what I can see, this festival is still mostly for people from Nha Nang. It's mainly Nha Nang locals. There are people from other provinces too, but not many. Really, this is a big festival, but promotion in Nha Nang is still weak, so very few people know about it. Mostly, it's people from Nha Nang who know it well. Because there are some exciting palanquin tossers here. So people from near and far have been coming here for a long time. Dencon temple was recognized as a national relic in 1993. And the Dencon festival was recognized as intangible cultural heritage in 2017. This temple worships the four holy mothers. The four holy mothers are said to be from China. Inside here is still the shopping area. It's still very crowded. It's very crowded inside here. Here's the prize game area. It's always packed.

People here work in sea-related jobs, so they often hold the conga right to pray for a year of calm seas and good weather, so their fishing trips are safer.
