Go to the river to see Dam village festival

Encourage each other before departure.

The village is by the river, so since when has there always been a boat racing tradition among the villagers' spring entertainment?

The section of river chosen as the racetrack is quite beautiful, with a wide, straight riverbed and calm water, running from Ba Bai wharf along the green rice fields along Soi Doi field to Ruong Lay field. The racers turn around there.

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

Small village, small river, each racing boat has only 13 rowers. The racers are mostly young and strong men in the village, except for the rower (sitting at the back holding the oar) who is usually older, experienced, calm, and decisive in turning the boat through the channel.

The Dam River boat race was expanded with the participation of racing boats from many other localities in the province.

Amidst the continuous drumbeats, mixed with the "he la he la" sounds keeping the rhythm, on the shore are the cheers of the fans, who are also the parents, brothers, friends, children, and lovers of the swimmers.

Cheering enthusiastically on the bridge under the river.

In the past, it was just an internal race of boats in the village. In the following years, the organizing committee expanded the scale to an open Dam River race with racing boats from many other localities in the province and has become an interesting check-in address during spring days.

Accelerate.

A game that is both entertaining and preserves the traditional cultural beauty of the homeland; at the same time, it is an opportunity for people to express solidarity, express their faith, and hope for a new year of peace, favorable weather, and bountiful crops. Amidst the many changes, Dam village is lucky to still preserve a spring charm, truly precious!

Decisive battle.

Grandmother and grandchild attentively follow each race track.

The audience cheered.

Spring beauty.
