village festival
On March 31st 1959, on a working
journey to learn about the socio-economic development in a number of North Eastern
islands of the North after liberation, Uncle Ho paid a visit to cadres and
people of Cat Hai, Cat Ba. The event is a priceless reward to the Party, army
and people of the island district, it is also his infinite care for fellow
citizen and soldiers who are living and working in remote islands.
The working visit has been a remarkable
memory which can not be faded in the minds of Cat Hai’s militants and people. In
addition, the day has been not only a local revolutionary mark but also of the
national fishery.
In order to show the local great attitude
to Uncle Ho thanks to his visit, the date of March 31st has been decided
to be a traditional festival of Cat Hai’s people. Annually, the local authority
celebrates the date with various exciting activities, including the notably
dragon boat racing on the sea with participation of local fishermen.
