Bài Chòi is a combination of arts in Central Vietnam including music, poetry, acting, painting and literature,[1] providing recreation, entertainment and socialising within village communities.[2] It was Inscribed on the UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list in 2017.[1][3] Bài Chòi was recognised as Vietnam's national intangible cultural heritage during 2014-2016 by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.[4]

Bài Chòi games and performance involve a card game similar to bingo, played with songs and music performed by Hieu artists, during the Tết Nguyên Đán.[5][6]
