People participate in chasing ducks in the pond.

At Uncle Ho’s fish pond (area 10), 150 ducks are released into the pond for people to catch. Participants must be healthy and know how to swim. The game has attracted a large number of people to participate, especially young men who are good at swimming and skilled. There is no division into teams, no determination of winners or losers; the reward for participants is the number of ducks that the players catch.
