The volleyball tournament at the Gam Temple Festival is an opportunity for people inside and outside Xuan Thanh commune to earn extra income by renting out standing spaces. In the men's volleyball final, although a large number of scaffolding was mobilized around the field, due to the large number of spectators, the seats were still "full". Photo: Huy Thu |

A rickshaw at the festival ground had a flat tire due to overload. The story of the "burnout" of viewing spots at Gam Temple - Pagoda shows the jubilant festival atmosphere and the intense love of sports of the locals and tourists when coming to this festival. Photo: Huy Thu |
