Laugh-out-loud moments during the 'blindfolded pig catching' game.

TPO - Despite the sweltering weather, the hilarious chases in traditional folk games like blindfolded pig catching and duck catching brought bursts of laughter to the audience at the Thanh Toan tiled bridge rural market festival.

On the morning of July 28th, a large number of locals and tourists flocked to the Thanh Toan tiled bridge historical site (Thanh Thuy ward, Hue City) to participate in the festival and immerse themselves in the rustic and vibrant rural cultural atmosphere. The highlight this morning was the area where the traditional folk game "blindfolded pig catching" was taking place. In a corner of the earthen courtyard enclosed by a fence, players were blindfolded with cloth and had to use their hearing to locate the animal. Photo: Yen Nhi.

The "pig-grabbing" moments on the field were incredibly intense. Due to limited visibility, many players repeatedly missed, groped in the air, or even crashed into each other, causing the agile pigs to narrowly escape. Photo: Yen Nhi.
