Opening Yen Tu Spring Festival on February 28
Thu Minh 15:28, 2015/02/12
The Quang Ninh People’s Committee and provincial Party Committee’s Popularisation and Education Board announced that the Yen Tu Spring Festival will be opened in Le Truong Giai Oan yard, Yen Tu, Thuong Yen commune, Uong Bi city, the northern province of Quang Ninh on February 28 (the 10th day of the first Lunar month).
As many as 400 delegates and 2,500 Buddhist followers are expected to attend the opening ceremomy of the Yen Tu Spring Festival held in Le Truong Giai Oan yard, Yen Tu, Thuong Yen commune, Uong Bi city, the northern province of Quang Ninh on February 28 (the 10th day of the first Lunar month). 
The organising board is currently rushing to complete a number of construction efforts, including the restoration of the One-Roof pagoda and installing direction and instruction signs in the area.
The organising board decided to change the sales of commodities away from its previous arrangement stretching from Giai Oan pagoda to Dong pagoda to prevent the unsettled shops, peddled wares and the sale of fresh meat in the relic site.
At the festival, fixed prices for commodities will be strictly implemented. Besides, food hygiene and safety, and environmental maintenance will be ensured during the festival. Risk warnings and directions to first aid stations will be placed in Giai Oan, Hoa Yen and An Ky Sinh.
 

 
The organising board stated that security, army forces, and the youth will be mobilised to manage and guide visitor. Meanwhile, relevant agencies should actively manage transportation flow to avoid traffic congestion on the road leading to the relic site.
Yen Tu mountain is located about 50 kilometres from Ha Long city. The pilgrimage route, which winds from the foot of the mountain to its pinnacle, is almost 30 kilometres. Dong pagoda, which sits on the top of mountain’s highest peak, is more than a kilometre above sea level. 
Yen Tu was officially listed as a special national relic site on September 27, 2012.
