SUMMARY:Excursion: Bá Dương Nội Village - Part 1
DESCRIPTION:**PLEASE REGISTER  TO ATTEND THIS EVENT. DETAILS BELOW** \nBá Dương Nội village is a 1\,000 year-old kite making village; generations have kept this tradition alive. The kites are made in the shapes of crescent moons or boats\, attached to wooden flutes. The wind passes through the flutes making lovely soft melodies.  The village dates back to the 10th century Dinh dynast. Bá Dương Nội has a reputation as one of Vietnam’s major kite flying centres. \n(to quote from VoV): “The elderly say once upon a time when heaven and earth were close\, heaven’s fairies often came down to attend earth’s festivals. But one day\, the heaven rose higher and higher. The fairies couldn’t come down. People on earth made kites as a way to restore contact with the heaven. People attached bamboo flutes to the kites to call the fairies to the earth’s festivals.” \nWe are delighted Mr Nguyễn Hữu Kiêm\, President of the Hong Ha Kite Club has agreed to take time out of his busy schedule to host our visit to his house and run a workshop on how to make a small kite. \nWe made this visit for the first time last year and we hope it will become part of our annual calender. It is linked to the village’s annual kite festival that will happen end of April. We will visit the village again to attend their festival on Monday 30 April. \nMeet: Outside of the Pan Pacific Hotel\, on Yên Phụ Rd\, at the corner of Thanh Niên Rd \nOutline plan.  \n9am                  depart Pan Pacific \n9.45am:            appx time arrive Hạ Mỗ\, Hồng Thái commune\, Đan Phượng district.
