Da Nang ready for international fireworks festival
Da Nang (VNA) – The annual international fireworks competition in the
central city of Da Nang will become a two-month festival for the first time in order to lure more visitors to the city.
According to Le
Quy Duong, the festival’s general director, said the event will be the biggest
fireworks festival in Southeast Asia.
Beginning in
2008, the Da Nang International Fireworks Competition has since become one of
important events to attract tourists to the city at the end of April every year.
However, it lasted only a few days without any additional activities to keep
visitors staying.
This year, the
festival promises a lot of activities to entertain besides eight nights of
fireworks display during it courses from April 29 to June 24.
Visitors can
join barefoot runs on sand, taste food and beer at international cuisine and
beer fairs, contemplate statues at an international sculpture show, study the
local Cham culture, or amuse themselves at street carnivals.
Eight teams from
eight countries – Switzerland, Japan, China, the United Kingdom, Italy,
Australia, Austria and Vietnam will show off
their firework performances.-VNA
