A hot air balloon festival is set to get underway in the Mekong Delta province of An Giang in early September to mark the 77th anniversary of National Day (September 2).
The balloon festival scheduled to take place from September 2 – 4 will showcase a total of 14 colourful hot air balloons which feature numerous distinctive shapes and colours.
The highlight of the event will be a national flag salute ceremony which will be held on September 2 to celebrate National Day. Hot air balloons will raise a 200 square metre national flag into the sky in Tri Ton district of An Giang.
The organisers will also hold a music gala on a walking street in order to help tourists discover the beauty of the local area at night.
