Although being aware that it was an uphill battle, the emergency response forces, combating the coastal erosion caused by the recent typhoon No. 6 (typhoon Trami), raced against time and fierce waves with the utmost determination to protect the coastline.

Ro Pagoda ox racing festival is a unique cultural feature of the Khmer people in the Bay Nui region (Tri Ton District, Tinh Bien Town, An Giang Province) during the annual Sen Dolta (the ancestor worship ceremony).

The first annual boat racing event of Thuy Thanh commune (Huong Thuy town) kicked off on the morning of August 30th on Nhu Y River (at the community tourism spot of Thanh Toan Tiled-Roof Bridge), marking the start of a series of activities to celebrate numerous important local events.
