The Dong Hoa fishing festival, which began dozens of years ago, is a yearly festival celebrated in the fifth month of the lunar calendar at the Vuc Marsh in Xuan Vien Commune, Nghi Xuan District.

The marsh spans around a kilometer and is near the Hong Linh Mountain. The festival was suspended in 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
 

People use fishing baskets, typically made of bamboo, to catch fish. Each basket could be 50 cm and costs around VND150,000-200,000 ($6.47-8.62).

"Since ancient times, locals catching fish in the marsh have wished for good weather and bountiful harvest. Authorities meanwhile hope that the festival would help foster community bond," said 60-year-old Nguyen Van Thai.
