Da Nang - the top attractive destination for Independence Day

It is no coincidence that Da Nang is always in the top destinations with the highest tourist attraction index in Vietnam. According to a report by the Da Nang Tourism Promotion Center, the most popular length of each trip to Da Nang for tourists is about 3-4 nights. The city has the highest rate of returning visitors among destinations in Vietnam, with more than 50% of those surveyed saying they had experienced traveling to this destination before. For that reason, Da Nang has naturally become a "sought-after" destination for the upcoming 4-day holiday on September 2.

Coming to Da Nang this time, besides familiar activities such as swimming, enjoying seafood or checking in at famous constructions, having fun at iconic tourist areas such as Sun World Ba Na Hills, visitors should not forget to check-out new discoveries that cannot be missed in the city on the Han River. At the top of the list is Da Nang Downtown (formerly Asia Park) - a new "entertainment mecca" with a series of "blockbuster" experiences that have just been added recently.

“Entertainment Party” at Da Nang Downtown

Da Nang Downtown will treat visitors to the Independence Day with a sumptuous "entertainment feast" with the highlight being a series of high-class shows taking place from afternoon to night, including Awaken River, Vietnamese Puppetry, Night Adventure and Symphony of River. And the most special show that extends the brilliant fireworks season, as well as creating attraction for Da Nang from summer until now, is still Symphony of River - Symphony on the River - a multi-experience art show with the participation of more than 100 international artists. Among them are many famous artists, 20 world Jetski and Flyboards champions and most impressive is more than 7 minutes of fireworks display with eye-catching color effects both on the river, in the air, as well as from the wings of flyboard athletes.

In particular, since August, the final fireworks show has been supplemented with many new types of high-altitude fireworks imported from China - the land known as the "witch" of fireworks with "ever-changing" effects in both shape and color such as rice flowers, weeping willows, palm branches or large chrysanthemums with colors changing in an instant...

The works performed here combine the art forms of water puppetry and dry puppetry that are more than 1,000 years old, integrating folk tales with contemporary elements, depicting the beauty of the country and people of Vietnam.

Officially rebranded from Asia Park and launched in June 2024, the “new entertainment district” Da Nang Downtown is becoming the busiest entertainment, shopping, and culinary destination in the Han River city at night. With a series of attractive and constantly renewed experiences to constantly surprise visitors every time they return, Da Nang Downtown is naturally the top name on the list of destinations that visitors cannot miss when visiting Da Nang.

According to information from a representative of Da Nang Downtown, there have been more than 160,000 visitors to the park during the series of shows from the beginning of July until now, an increase of 56% compared to the same period in 2023. With impressive statistics and a series of exciting experiences, Da Nang Downtown deserves to be the most attractive "entertainment mecca" at night in Da Nang, contributing significantly to making the Han River city a sleepless destination for all domestic and foreign tourists.
