The absence of some familiar troupes such as the Belgium’s troupe of walking on stilts and the Australian aboriginal troupe reduced the fascination of this year festival only a little. However, some newcomers like the royal dance troupe from South Korea, the traditional artistic troupe of Mongolia and the Guangdong artistic troupe from China brought new and specific features to the festival.
On the streets, artists have made the event fascinating by the traditional performances of their nations. With the exciting music and dances of artistic troupes, ten thousands of tourists and Hue residents flocked to the streets to enjoy the atmosphere that made an imprint by Hue Festival 2016.
