Dozens of hot air balloons flew in the sky of Hue land, creating a beautiful image, attracting a large number of people and tourists to enjoy.

There are 10 large hot air balloons with a diameter of 25 - 28m that will be used to carry passengers to fly at an altitude of 300 - 500m, each flight lasts 45 - 60 minutes. From this height, visitors will admire the panoramic view of Hue ancient capital.
