Unicorn dancing and martial arts will replace the royal games on the second and third days. All performers and acting royal guards will dress in traditional costume.

At Khai Tuong Lau Pavilion inside An Dinh Palace on the south bank of the Huong River, visitors will enjoy a collection of antiques used by the country's last king, Bao Dai (1926-1945).
