Unique market that opens once a year at midnight in Quang Tri

The unique feature of the market that only takes place once a year in Quang Tri is that the "homegrown" products that people bring are mainly to sell to buyers for "luck" so they do not haggle. Buyers who want to buy "luck" for good luck at the beginning of the year do not bargain...

The unique feature of the market that only opens from the evening of the 2nd to the early morning of the 3rd day of Tet in Quang Tri is that the sellers come here to pray for luck and the buyers come here to get "luck" at the beginning of the year, so neither the sellers nor the buyers haggle over the price.

Coming to the communal house market, everyone buys some "luck" for the new year to bring home.

Many tourists and locals come to the communal house fair to stop and "ask" for the first words of the year.

The festival space is bustling with the art performance program of the "five-year-old Bich La" people and the Bai Choi festival.

According to the Organizing Committee, the communal house market, which only meets once a year at the beginning of the year, has been present in the cultural life of the Bich La people and the traditional spring communal house market festival of the Bich La people has become an occasion for people to buy and sell "luck" and offer incense to pray for good luck.

The Golden Turtle God worship ceremony is held with the wish for national peace and prosperity, a year of favorable weather, good crops, and prosperous business...
