Under the provincial administration’s
directions, local relic sites have been restored and upgraded. Nineteen of the
68 relic sites in the province have been rated so far while the management,
protection, and promotion of values of these places have been associated with
the organisation of festivals.
Party committees, authorities and organisations
from the provincial to grassroots levels have taken action to enhance their
leadership over the management and organisation of festivals. The target is to
organise local festivals in a solemn, economical, and effective manner that is
in line with fine customs and traditional cultural values so as to meet
people’s cultural and spiritual demand. They expect that by doing so, festivals
