Their movements were executed with precision and skill, and wherever they went, spectators and tourists followed, applauding and cheering with enthusiasm.

The stilt artists stopped at key intersections, including the ones north of Truong Tien Bridge and in front of Dong Ba Market, to perform close-up movements that involved using their stilts to push each other, engage in mock fights, and create a lively and entertaining atmosphere filled with laughter and excitement.

In addition to their performances, the artists also assisted bystanders in learning to stand and move on stilts and took memorable photos with them.
