The unique and impressive event is the last in a series as part of the Halong Carnival 2009.

Among performance troupes were those coming from different localities in Vietnam and also from foreign countries including the Republic of Korea, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Cuba and China.

The performance featured traditional dances from Hoi An City and My Son Sanctuary as well as Central Highlands’ gongs, which have been recognised by UNESCO as the World Heritage Sites.

The event drew the participation of famous singers, such as Ho Quynh Huong, Hoang Tung, Tuan Anh, Hoang Thai, Tan Nhan and Ngoc Anh. In addition, a fashion show on the theme of the four seasons introduced tourists to the beauty of thousands of islands in Halong Bay. The night performance was closed with a brilliant firework display.

In 2009, Quang Ninh Province is scheduled to receive 4.8 million arrivals, including 2 million international tourists.
