As part of a series of cultural activities to mark the ongoing 5^th Asian Beach Games (ABG5) in Da Nang, a ‘Fishermen’s Day’ programme took place at a beach opposite the city’s Whale Temple near the intersection of Vo Nguyen Giap and Vo Van Kiet streets on Saturday.

Organised by the Management Board of the Son Tra Peninsula and Da Nang Tourism Beaches, the event attracted much attention from locals, and domestic and foreign visitors.

Here are some photos, taken by our reporter Thanh Tinh, which reflect the bustling atmosphere of this event.
