A ball wrestling festival is held on the fifth and sixth days of the first lunar month in Thúy Lĩnh Village in Hoàng Mai District, Hà Nội. The festival commemorates His Royal Highness Linh Lang, the fourth son of Emperor Lý Thánh Tông (1054-1072), who organised the festival at the beginning of each year as a training activity for his soldiers. — VNS Photo Việt Thanh |
