Xo Dang Neu Tree Contest and Folk Games in Tra Linh

Within the framework of the 2026 Da Nang International Ngoc Linh Ginseng and Medicinal Herbs Festival, the Contest of Cultural Space of the Traditional Neu Tree of the Xo Dang Ethnic Group and folk games was held in Tra Linh commune, attracting a large number of locals and tourists.

The contest is an opportunity to introduce and honor the distinctive cultural beauty of the Xo Dang people – one of the ethnic minorities with a long-standing tradition in the Central Highlands region. The neu tree is not only a spiritual symbol but also reflects community cohesion, elaborately decorated with characteristic patterns and colors. In addition, folk games such as stick pushing, tug of war, and bamboo dancing created a joyful and lively atmosphere, offering visitors a close-to-nature experience at the festival.

This activity not only contributes to preserving and promoting the traditional cultural values of ethnic minorities but also serves as an attractive highlight in Da Nang's cultural tourism landscape. Visitors have the chance to immerse themselves in the festival space, learn about the rich spiritual life of the Xo Dang people, and discover more local specialties within the Ngoc Linh Ginseng Festival. If you have the opportunity to visit Da Nang during this time, don't miss the chance to experience these unique cultural traits.
