Quang Ninh People’s Committee Vice Chairman Dang Huy Hau says the cultural festival also aims to boost Japanese investments in the locality and across Vietnam.
The province organized first such event in April 2013. It has planted more than 100 cherry blossom trees in Ha Long City’s Bai Chay tourism site and Yen Tu in Uong Bi City.
This year’s festival is scheduled for mid-March in Ha Long City.
Hau says the scale of the event would be expanded to more than 120 cherry blossom tree plantings. It also encompasses 20-30 pavilions introducing and promoting local tourism, cuisine, souvenirs, bonsai, as well as Quang Ninh and Japanese regional specialties.
The festival’s opening ceremony will entertain local audiences and interested visitors with traditional cultural and art performances by artists from both nations.
