1,000 fireworks and more than 50 effects lit up the sky of Ha Long Bay on the evening of July 4, opening the "Shining the Wonder Bay" tourism event series organized by Sun Group.
At 9:15 p.m., the entire Fireworks Bay inside Sun Elite City began to light up. 1,000 fireworks with more than 50 different effects were activated one after another, from smoke cannons, water cannons, to wolf-sound cannons - turning the bay into a visual stage. Thousands of locals and tourists were present to watch attentively, immersing themselves in the vibrant atmosphere.
The fireworks show opened the "Shining the Wonder Bay" event series organized by Sun Group, taking place continuously every Friday and Saturday night, from July 4 to September 2.
Tourists used their phones to record the moment the fireworks lit up the sky. Ms. Tuyet Mai, a tourist from Bac Ninh, said the light show was more beautiful than expected, with a clear view and eye-catching effects. "I feel the atmosphere of a youthful and energetic Ha Long. I will definitely invite more friends to come back next weekend," she said.
Many tourists choose a more upscale experience of having dinner and watching fireworks from a cruise on the bay. The light boats anchored along the Ha Long International Passenger Port area are where visitors can enjoy dinner, drink champagne, and admire the fireworks.
The standard ticket price to watch the fireworks is 100,000 VND per person, free for children under 1 meter. From July 4 to July 31, visitors get a discount of up to 35%, down to 65,000 VND per ticket. If booked in advance via the Sun Paradise Land app, the price is 50,000 VND.
The Fireworks Bay space is also seamlessly connected to the Sun Group's resort-entertainment ecosystem in Ha Long. Visitors who buy combos here or packages with buffet will receive free tickets to watch fireworks every Friday and Saturday. Similar offers are available for guests staying at Oakwood Ha Long or using services at Yoko Onsen Quang Hanh.
The Fireworks Festival makes the atmosphere at Sun Elite City more bustling. From 6:30 p.m., the new version of Vui-Fest night market opens, attracting thousands of visitors. This year's Vui-Fest has been upgraded in both scale and quality of experience, with more than 30 booths arranged along the Fireworks Bay area, creating a seamless shopping - culinary - entertainment space close to the bay.
In addition to watching fireworks, visitors can experience many activities in the summer festival, from music, interaction, to cuisine. Food stalls with grilled skewers, seafood, traditional cakes, and drinks are the most crowded places for tourists.
Tourists check in at the night market, interacting with mascots. The space here also arranges animated clusters with many minigames, giving art balloons to children.
The tall "light robot" moves through each area to create visual highlights, attracting visitors.
The performance of young bands in street style helps visitors have more experiences.
With a high-altitude artistic fireworks system and Vui-Fest night market, every weekend night in Ha Long meets the need for rest and becomes an emotional meeting place. Sun Group representative hopes this activity will help increase the vitality of the city.
