Image “Ro Cho Sunrise”: Vietnam’s tranquil Thu Bon River in Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage Centre, provides a breathtaking backdrop for Ro Cho, a traditional fishing method meaning “fishing net with a small house.” Capturing this cultural practice in the soft, golden light of sunrise is a timeless and mesmerizing experience, offering a glimpse into the essence of local life and tradition dating back to the 15th century.
