Nestled in Hai Lang District, Quang Tri Province, Tram Tra Loc stands as an eco-tourism haven celebrated for its breathtaking natural vistas, pristine air, and delectable seafood.
Earlier this month, a multitude of locals and tourists converged upon Tram Tra Loc to partake in a unique festival that has endured for over three centuries in this central locale. They waded into the expansive swamp to capture fish and shrimp.
As explained by local residents, this festival holds deep agricultural roots, a celebration for farmers following the summer-autumn rice harvest.
