Symphony of River show - Da Nang Downtown

Held daily at 8.30pm in Da Nang Downtown, the city’s new entertainment district, the Symphony of River show combines classical symphonic music, timeless songs, thrilling Flyboard and Jetski performances and mesmerising choreography on a floating stage by the Han River.
