The opening of the much awaited Carnaval Ha Long 2024 festival in the northern province of Quang Ninh which is slated for April 28 evening, is approaching and tickets for cruise tours during the occasion are selling well, especially with a fireworks show on the occasion.

For the first time, a floating stage will be formed off the Bai Chay beach with about 200 vessels. Besides fireworks, the event will also feature drone and LED displays.

Cruises are offering tours to see the displays at 300,000 (12 USD) to 450,000 VND (16 USD) per person. The cruises will depart from Tuan Chau and Ha Long international tourism ports at dusk and sail to Bai Chay beach.

On the way, passengers will enjoy teas and pastries in an afternoon tea session, followed with fine dining and several activities on board before contemplating extravagant firework displays on the UNESCO-recognised World Natural Heritage Site Ha Long Bay.

The festival will bring together domestic creative teams, leading artists and craftsmen, as well as troupes from Japan’s Hokkaido, China’s Guangxi, Laos, Thailand, and Europe.

Furthermore, as part of the Ha Long tourism week 2024, the city will host a series of events, including the opening of a culinary pedestrian street, a sport tournament, a festival of beer and the province’s famous Cha Muc (fried squid patties), as well as lion-dragon dance, modern dance, and kite festivals./.VNA
