Songs performed by singer Nguyet Anh and her ATB music group in the programme expressed the feelings of Hue natives when they return to the city after living far from home for a long time.

The event involved well-known art troupes from around the country, including those from Hanoi and Hue city.

The former imperial city and the Huong (Perfume) river were brightly adorned with hundreds of various-sized lanterns.
