Along with the silhouette of the port town, the traditional colors of Nuoc Man festival have faded a lot through many historical changes over the years.

The river fills, the sea fills, Nuoc Man does not have the luck like Hoi An still retains its previous shape. So, Nuoc Man festival is like a recollection of the decline of the largest commercial port city in Quy Nhon government, transforming into the coastal city of Quy Nhon, Binh Dinh province today.
