    There are three forms of Xoan singing: worshipsinging for the Hung Kings and village guardian spirits; ritual singing forgood crops, health, and luck; and festival singing where villagers alternatemale and female voices in a form of courtship. So far, 20 out of the 30cultural spaces for Xoan singing practice have been upgraded. The organisationof traditional festivals in association with Hung Kings worship and Xoansinging has been maintained. In the past, only seven artisans were able to passdown this art form, but now the number has amounted to nearly a hundred.

    Phu Tho is now home to 34 Xoan singing clubs at the provincial level, with over1,500 singers. Xoan singing is also practised at 64 clubs at the district leveland 42 others at the communal level.

    According to Phung Thi Hoa Le, Director of theprovincial Centre for Tourism Promotion, in order to attract internationaltourists to Phu Tho, especially during the Hung Kings Temple Festival, theprovince has launched the tourism product of “Xoan singing in an ancientvillage” along with daily tours.
