Description Held from August 15 to 17 at Ong Thuy General's mausoleum to commemorate the merits of "Mr" fish - the god who patronizes fisheries and marine occupations in general. On the 16th, at Lang Ong, a procession was held to process the South Sea General's palanquin onto the dragon boat to the sea. Along with the dragon boat carrying the water general, there were hundreds of large and small boats, splendidly decorated, with colorful flags and flowers accompanying him to the sea to welcome him. In front of the boat are incense and offering trays. On these large and small boats, there are thousands of tourists and relatives participating in the procession. When the Spirit is brought into the mausoleum, the ceremonies of praying for peace, building adoration of the great boi, and singing boi take place at the mausoleum of Mr. Thuy General. On the 17th, there was a ceremony to honor the king of Thuy Prime by ordination. The worshiping ceremony includes singing.
