According to the organising board, the air balloon event scheduled to tee off on May 4-5 as part of the 2016 Hue Festival is expected to attract pilots and balloonists from 9 countries across the globe, including the UK, the Netherlands, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam.
Each balloon is 25 m high with a diameter covering 18 m.
The event will give tourists an opportunity to enjoy fantastic flying performances and to contemplate the beautiful landscapes of Thua Thien-Hue from high view.
In addition, a photo contest and an exchange with the pilots will be planned.
