"Vietnam and Korea are making our 'family relationship' better," said South Korean ambassador Park Noh-wan.

"I'm glad to introduce Korean culture to people in Quang Nam. I hope this year's event will bring the people of the two countries closer over the barriers of culture and language."

Visitors will have the chance to experience Korean culture and cuisine from 3pm-6pm on April 10 and 11 including handicrafts, games and a lucky draw. 

From 7pm to 9pm, music shows will entertain event goers with performances by Korean and Vietnamese artists.
