Far away, the gentle laughter echoes on the way home/ Flowers bloom beautifully, smiling lips are forever remembered...

Singer Khanh Van's lyrics are like the lingering sentiments of the people of the ancient capital sent to friends from far away, artists, and tourists coming to Hue to attend this year's festival.

In response to the kindness of Hue, Korean Nanta drum artists and opera artists from Zhejiang (China) performed their best performances.
