Go to the river to watch the village festival at Dam.

They encouraged each other before departure.

The village is located by the river, so boat racing has always been a tradition among the villagers' spring festivities.

The section of the river chosen for the race track is quite beautiful, with a wide, straight channel and calm water, running from Ba Bai wharf along the lush green rice paddies of Soi Doi field to the Ruong Lay area. The race marker turns around there.

Boat racing on the Dam River is a traditional cultural activity at the beginning of spring for the people of Tam Thang, Tam Ky countryside.

The village is small, the river is narrow, and each racing boat only has 13 oarsmen. The racers are mostly strong young men from the village, except for the rower (sitting at the back and steering), who is usually older, experienced, calm, and decisive in maneuvering around markers.

The expanded Dam River boat race features participating boats from many other localities in the province.

Amidst the incessant drumming and the rhythmic "he la he la" chants, on the shore, the cheers of the spectators, who were also the parents, siblings, friends, children, and lovers of the rowers, could be heard.

Enthusiastic cheers erupted on the bridge and along the river.

Originally, it was just an internal race between boats within the village. In later years, the organizers expanded it into an open Dam River race with racing boats from many other localities in the province, and it has become an interesting check-in spot during the spring days.

This game is both entertaining and preserves the traditional cultural beauty of the homeland; it is also an opportunity for people to show solidarity, express their hopes, and pray for a peaceful new year with favorable weather and a bountiful harvest.
