At the district level, the Vu – Vo Clan Council has been established in Bac Ha, Bat Xat, Bao Thang, Bao Yen, and Lao Cai City.
Every year, on the 8th day of the first lunar month, the provincial-level council organizes a delegation to offer incense, paying tribute to their ancestors at the clan’s historical sites in Hai Duong Province. Twice a year, a delegation also offers incense at Bac Ha Temple (Bac Ha District), the sacred site dedicated to National Duke Vu Van Mat.
