The Do Son Buffalo Fighting Festival is a famous traditional event that closely attaches to the name of Do Son in the northern port city of Hai Phong. Like other festivals in Vietnam, the Buffalo Fighting Festival consists of two parts - spiritual rites and entertainment activities imbued with the identity of the estuary region. Besides other communal houses in the Do Son district, on the early morning of September 22nd, villagers gathered at the village’s communal house to perform the buffalo presentation ritual. This year, Ngoc Xuyen ward has two fighting buffaloes, officially called “Ngài Trâu” (Sir Buffalo), competing in the festival.
