A traditional Vietnamese tug-of-war folk game was added to UNESCO''s list
of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity icons yesterday, along with
three other Asian countries with a similar tradition.
Huu Chap Village in Bac Ninh Province has played the traditional game bamboo
keo co (tug of war) for hundreds of years, but now it is being lost amid
rapid socio-economic development, said an elderly resident, Nguyen Van
Hai.
