Preserving Cultural Beauty Through Traditional Sports

For ethnic minority communities across the province, participating in traditional sports and folk games is not merely a physical activity, but also an opportunity to exchange, share, and strengthen solidarity and community spirit.

To preserve and promote the beautiful cultural identities of ethnic minorities, Party committees and local authorities throughout the province have consistently paid attention to investing in facilities and sports institutions across residential areas in recent years. Localities have organized numerous competitive tournaments, sports exchanges, and festivals to conserve and promote ethnic sports and folk games... Thereby, these efforts contribute to driving physical training and competition in traditional sports into a vibrant and widespread movement, leading to the discovery and selection of key athletic talents for provincial-level competitions.
