Visit Am Chua National Monument during Am Chua Festival

Every year, in the first days of the third lunar month, local people, pilgrims, and tourists in Khanh Hoa Province and other localities in the country visit Am Chua National Monument (Dien Dien Commune, Dien Khanh District) to attend Am Chua Festival. Bringing offerings such as agricultural products grown and produced by themselves, the pilgrims express their respect to Thien Y A Na Holy Mother and pray for good things.
