Spring boat racing festival
Every year, as Tết (Lunar New Year) is coming, the atmosphere of boat racing festivals are bustling along the countryside of Vietnam in general and those of Thua Thien Hue province in particular.
The boat racing is a unique cultural activity that is indispensable in the traditional holidays of the nation because it always brings joy and a refreshing spirit to people after their working days and months. Below are photos by Nguyễn Khoa Huy recording images of Spring boat racing festivals in Phong Điền district, Hương Trà town… at the beginning of the Lunar New Year.
