Notably, the traditional Cau Ngu festival is observed under the belief that whales rescue people in danger at sea, whilst they also represent a symbol of great fortune that can bring local fishermen a bumper fishing season and peaceful fishing journeys. With the above typical value, the Cau Ngu festival was inserted into the National intangible heritage List in 2019.
