Horses have long been embedded in Vietnamese culture, carrying layered symbolism in language and belief while remaining part of daily life in many ethnic minority communities.

For fishermen in coastal areas, Tet Festival (Lunar New Year) is not only present in their homes or on the family feast table, but also quietly spreads on the boat deck with the fresh paint smell, the vibrant red of the flag, and the sacred rituals on the waves.

The former Phu Yen province, now the eastern part of Dak Lak, preserves geological memories spanning hundreds of millions of years and possesses all the conditions necessary to establish the Phu Yen Geopark, with the aim of attaining UNESCO Global Geopark status.

Today, Dak Lak is not only the heart of the vast Central Highlands but also a province looking out across the expansive East Sea.

In the days preceding Tet, a visit to Phu Lac fishing village (Hoa Hiep ward) unveils a vivid scene, amid warm golden spring sunlight alongside the immense blue stretch of sea, the bright red national flags stand out while fluttering briskly in the wind.

The Provincial Party Committee, the People’s Council, the People’s Committee and the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Dak Lak province held a meeting with representatives of the press, artists and intellectuals on the occasion of the Binh Ngo Spring of 2026.
