Cow Race Festival,

You might find it hard to imagine that such large and cumbersome creatures as cows could compete in a race, but this is what you can see in Bay Nui, the mountainous province of An Giang. This is how the local people of Vietnam celebrate the New Year according to the Khmer calendar. Last year over 30,000 visitors came to the festival to learn more about the culture of this scenic mountain region. More information is available at travelcalendar.ru.
