Quan Lan rowing festival

As part of the Van Don traditional festival 2022, a festival of rowing was held on July 17 or the 18th day of the 6th lunar month. This is either the annual celebration of victory over Yuan enemy in 1288 or the festival of fishermen. 

The festival of rowing is usually held at the beach in front of Ben Dinh where there is a village communal house. This house was built to worship the Village Tutelary God Tran Khanh Du, a famous general of the Tran Dynasty who defended Van Don for many years and once achieved a well-known victory that destroyed the whole fleet of supply ships of the aggressors in early 1288, contributing an important part to Vietnam's victory.
