It’s part of a publicity stunt to promote a Dao ethnic group cultural festival in the town of Tuyen Quang, the capital of Tuyen Quang Province September 29-30, says a representative of the festival. |
The huge chicken is four metres high and 10 metres long. |
The giant chicken float is mounted on a 13-metre-long four wheeled chassis that is towed by a small tractor. |
The float has a maximum speed of 20 kilometres per hour. |
The giant chicken quickly catches the imagination of thousands as it passes around Hoan Kiem Lake, especially young children. |
A simulated Red Dao wedding ceremony is also part of the parade. |
Dao ethnic girls in colourful costume bring the essence of the mountain culture to the heart of the capital city of Hanoi. |
