On July 26, the "Ha Festival," a traditional festival of the Jing ethnic group, was celebrated in Wanwei Island, Jiangping Town, Dongxing City, Fangchenggang City, Guangxi Province. Border residents and tourists from China and Vietnam gathered together to enjoy the grand feast. Jing people, dressed in ethnic costumes, sang and danced happily and enjoyed a gathering in Hating, or Ha Pavilion. They sang Ha, played Duxianqin, a traditional plucked string instrument with only one string of the Jing ethnic group, caught fish, fished on stilts, etc. to celebrate the grandest traditional festival of their ethnic group.
