The Thanh Toan tile-roofed bridge, which is nearly 250 years old, is the highlight of the area, thanks to its unique architecture. It is located some eight kilometers from downtown Hue City. This year, the program was held from February 21 to 25, offering various interesting activities such as the ao dai show, a revival of the rural market and boat racing.
