Description:

Phu The Cake - a famous specialty of Bac Ninh
When mentioning the province of Bac Ninh, it can not be ignored Phu The Cake – one of the traditional cake of Vietnam. It symbolizes the faithful of husband and wife. Perhaps that is the reason why this cake has the special name “Phu The” (in Chinese-Vietnamese language, “phu” means husband and “the” means wife). Nowadays, Phu The cakes are still an essential part of a wedding banquet, or the gift packages that the groom's family send over to the bride's.

"Quan Ho" - a traditional folk art performance of Vietnam
Actually, “Quan Ho” singing is now often performed in spring, festivals, tourism activities, even at restaurants … Therefore, it is not difficult for you to enjoy some “Quan Ho” songs. Together with Hue Royal Defined Music, Gong-Chieng cultural space and Vietnamese “Ca Tru”, “Quan Ho” has recently been recognized as one of the intangible world heritages by UNESCO on 30th September 2009.
