The number of visitors to Con Son - Kiep Bac during the weekend increased dramatically.

On the afternoon of October 1, a representative of the Management Board of Con Son - Kiep Bac relic site said that from September 24 to October 1 (ie August 10 - August 17 of the lunar calendar), there were over 160,000 visitors coming to visit and worship at the two relics of Con Son and Kiep Bac, an increase of 43% over the same period in 2022. In particular, on September 30 - October 1, the number of visitors increased dramatically with nearly 90,000 visitors.

The reason is that this is the weekend and also the time when many programs take place within the framework of the Con Son - Kiep Bac Autumn Festival 2023, attracting the attention of many people and tourists from all over.

The new feature of the 2023 Con Son - Kiep Bac Autumn Festival is that the road to the relic site from National Highway 37 (An Linh intersection) to Dau Rong intersection has been completed with a 17 m wide road surface, 3 lanes for motor vehicles, creating convenience for pilgrims and worshipers. However, due to the large number of visitors, there were still local traffic jams at some points. The Provincial Police and Chi Linh City Police, officers and employees of the Con Son - Kiep Bac Relic Site Management Board promptly diverted and guided traffic.

During the first days of the festival, the weather was favorable, security and order were ensured, there was no theft or solicitation of tourists. The activities of the shops were civilized and polite.

On October 2, at the Kiep Bac Temple relic site, there will be a peace-praying ceremony and a lantern festival from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. There will also be a festival of performances to the Saints, water puppetry performances, and activities of the Culture, Tourism and Trade Promotion Week...
