The birth of a unique Vung Tau festival
People in Vung Tau city passed down the origin of Trung Cuu festival from generation to generation - Vung Tau festival commemorates Mr. Tran. The story tells that in the past, Long Son commune had Mr. Le Van Muu, who participated in the uprising against the French colonialism. However, the uprising failed, Mr. Le Van Muu took his family to hide in the east of Nua mountain, founded Ba Trao hamlet (now Long Son commune).

Here, he built the Great House, a place to worship Buddha, in the Tien period, to worship the Holy. In particular, he has created houses for temporary residents. So a little while later, Long Son becomes a place with a large number of people coming to settle down and becoming more and more bustling and crowded.

When he was born, Mr. Le Van Muu used to be naked, bun, walk barefoot and work all day, so people often call him Tran. When he died, people in this Vung Tau tourist destination formed a folk belief called Mr. Tran or Mr. Nha Lon.

Every year, on the 9th day of the 9th lunar month, the people of Long Son and the followers of Mr. Tran gather to the Lon House to celebrate peace and commemorate the merit of establishing the people of Mr. Tran's hamlet. Because it is held on the 9th of September, the festival is called Trung Cuu.
