Ho Chi Minh City on February 12 held a ceremony in the City’s Historical-Cultural Park to offer cylindrical glutinous rice cakes to the memory of the Hung Kings.

The offering table displayed cakes made in Hoc Mon and Cu Chi districts, winners of the first and second prizes at a competition to cook cylindrical glutinous rice cakes for the Lunar New Year festival (Tet).

The same day, municipal leaders offered incense and these cakes at the Ho Chi Minh Museum and the Ton Duc Thang Museum.

The cake offering is one of several traditional cultural activities observed every Tet holiday to remember ancestors, who have made great contributions to national defense and construction.
