Country Fun & Activities

In the middle of modern life you can still catch ducks among the festival visitors or watch sack hopping. In a corner of the community hall, games such as clay pots and tug -of -tea seem to bring people closer to each other. The older ones sit on some tables on the river bank and play Chinese chess in peace, while the active young people play volleyball, badminton and vocals. Mr. Thanh Tin (municipality of Binh Thanh Dong, District Phu Tan) said: “When I was only six years old, my mother took me to the community house. Now, with over 70, I don’t take part in any games anymore. I only enjoy watching. On such occasions, people have the opportunity to strengthen the bond between the village and the neighborhood.”

It is characteristic of rural areas that there is a similarly lively leisure activity not only during the common house devotion, but also on large full moon days, with religious ceremonies and occasions in honor of an important, local personality.

Play in the Temple Gotteszeremonie

When it comes to taking a trip to childhood through festivals, the country is the place that has been a lot of fun for generations. Twice a year, when the Buddhist Hoa Hao Ceremony takes place, the Hieu Nghia district unit with flying motorcycles appears like a fixed appointment. A few decades ago, this performance was a luxury for a large audience of all ages. But … the children are no longer interested in what makes those who pursue this profession sad. The ticket price is only 20,000 to 30,000 and the spectators at the wooden wall are all aged with fathers, mothers, grandparents …

Attracted by online clips traveled by Thanh Tan, a tourism student (Can Tho City), traveled to Giang to learn more about the village community house culture. The young man hopes that his knowledge from documents, locals and official sources will enrich and improve his report. “In the west, the village common house culture in the spiritual life of the people is very strongly anchored. In addition to the rituals of the community houses, I also impress the festive atmosphere of the places that I visited.
