To the lively music with a distinct highland flavor, 1,000 students in traditional costumes simultaneously performed the energetic, synchronized, beautiful, and spirited Senh Tien dance.

The sound of the bamboo sticks clashing together, combined with the cheers and shouts of the audience, contributed to a vibrant and lively atmosphere, making the stadium even more bustling and captivating.

The performance featured a variety of flexible formations, vividly recreating the folk culture of the ethnic minorities in the Bac Ha highlands. From the stands, the synchronized performance created a vibrant and colorful spectacle amidst the "white plateau" in the middle of summer.

Many tourists also expressed their admiration for the scale and artistry of the performance. Mr. Tran Van Hung, a tourist from Hanoi, said: "I was very surprised to witness the mass performance with such a large number of participants, yet it was still very uniform and beautiful. This performance truly reflects the cultural identity of the highlands."

According to the organizers, the performance of the "Senh Tien" by 1,000 students was created to promote the beauty of the traditional culture of the ethnic groups of Bac Ha, and also to aim for a Guinness World Record within the framework of this year's Summer Festival.

Besides contributing to the vibrant atmosphere of the cultural and tourism festival, the group performance also demonstrated the spirit of unity and national cultural pride of the young generation in the Bac Ha highlands today.
