Emotions explode with Carnival Ha Long 2025

Reporters from the Provincial Media Center recorded the feelings of program participants and visitors:

Singer Dong Hung: "Honored to perform at Carnaval Ha Long 2025"

Participating in the Ha Long Carnival 2025 is a great honor for me. This is the second time I have come, sung, and performed in Ha Long City. I would like to sincerely thank the provincial leaders and the audience of Ha Long City for giving me the opportunity to perform here. Even more proud, participating in this program, I also had the opportunity to perform two songs imbued with the identity, culture, and people of Quang Ninh : "Ho bien va bai ca tom ca" and "Toi la nguoi tho lo". The two songs were enthusiastically received by the people and tourists.

Hopefully, through my singing and lyrics, my performance will not only touch the hearts of the audience but also contribute to the success of the program, promoting Ha Long City and Quang Ninh to friends at home and abroad. I always hope to continue to have opportunities to participate in art programs in Ha Long City and Quang Ninh.

Ms. Phuong Thi So, Binh Lieu town, Binh Lieu district: "Promoting Then singing heritage to people, friends and tourists at home and abroad"

This year, Binh Lieu district has 30 artists participating in the Ha Long Carnival program to perform the ancient singing of the Tay ethnic group. This is the first time I have participated in the program so I am very nervous. Over the past few days, we have been working hard, actively, and urgently taking time to practice together. After that, we practiced together with other actors in Ha Long City for 4 days.

Then singing is recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage, expressed through the form of singing performed in religious ceremonies of the Tay people, with clear melody, rhythm and beat. Through the ups and downs of history and time, Then singing still exists in the cultural life of the Tay people as a testament to the vitality and cultural identity of the nation. Therefore, through this program, we want to promote this heritage to people, friends and tourists at home and abroad.

Chu Thi Van Anh, grade 10, Nguyen Binh Khiem Primary - Secondary - High School, Ha Long City: "It is an honor to contribute to the success of Ha Long Carnival 2025"

This is the first time I have performed at a Carnaval event. Wearing a colorful, sparkling costume, immersing myself in the vibrant music and brilliant lights of the Ha Long Carnaval 2025, I feel very excited and always try my best to complete my performance well. In the midst of the crowded crowd and in front of thousands of eyes of the audience, I am no longer just an ordinary student, but feel like I have become a part of the festival, a real "actor", contributing to the vibrant picture of Quang Ninh.

Before that, we also arranged our time and practiced for many weeks to prepare for the Ha Long Carnival 2025. I myself feel extremely proud to be able to join the biggest festival of the province. Along with that, being able to join the flow of culture and tourism , I feel more mature and bolder. Ha Long Carnival 2025 is not just a festival, but an unforgettable memory, helping me overcome shyness and continue on my upcoming journey.

Ms. Ngo Le Mai Que, Hong Ha ward, Ha Long city: "Eagerly waiting for the Carnaval program"

Every April 30th and May 1st holidays, my family and I eagerly await the Carnaval program to immerse ourselves in the excitement, joyful and exciting atmosphere of the festival. Ha Long Carnaval is held annually and has become a breath, a familiar rhythm of life for every Ha Long resident and tourist. Although my family and I go to see the Carnaval every year, every time the festival begins, the emotions surge like the first time, because of the innovation, the grand investment, and the attractive content of each performance.

This year, I was very impressed with the performances at Carnaval 2025. From the sparkling Ha Long Bay to the unique intangible heritages, Quang Ninh is honored as a living museum of nature and people. Not only a heritage land, Quang Ninh is also a symbol of preserving, promoting and spreading precious values. The program is a total harmony between people, natural beauty and unique cultural values, creating a Quang Ninh that develops richly and beautifully through each stage.

Every year, a new theme, a new color, but the emotions in me have never diminished. It is a pride for me to witness Quang Ninh becoming more and more brilliant, modern, and dynamic in the eyes of domestic and foreign tourists. Ha Long Carnival 2025 is not only a festival of lights and music, but also a place where the quintessence converges, marking the strong development of the province in the flow of time.

Ms. Nguyen Bich Hien, a tourist from Hanoi: "Like an invitation to friends everywhere to come to Ha Long, Quang Ninh and Vietnam"

This is the third time I have enjoyed the Ha Long Carnival. All three chapters of the Ha Long Carnival 2025 program were very impressive to me. Right from the opening act, the formation of the land and the journey to create the majestic Ha Long - Quang Ninh heritage were recreated. With a unique combination of performing arts and modern mapping technology, the symbol of the "Heritage Roundabout" was prominently depicted, affirming that Ha Long - Quang Ninh is a living wonder, reaching international standards. In addition to familiar songs about the images, people and land of Quang Ninh such as: Legend of the fishing village, Linh Thieng Yen Tu, Dau chan nguoi do... the program also has many performances honoring the cultural heritage of many provinces and cities across the country such as: Hat Then and Tinh lute of Binh Lieu, Bac Ninh folk songs, Hue royal court music, Tay Nguyen gongs... Interwoven with traditional music products are vibrant, youthful songs that attract young people, bringing excitement and emotions to everyone. This is like an invitation to friends everywhere to come to Ha Long, Quang Ninh and Vietnam.

Ms. Florence, a tourist from France: “Ha Long Carnival 2025 is wonderful”

This is the first time I have been to Ha Long (Quang Ninh) and have been immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of the Ha Long Carnival 2025. For me, this is an unforgettable experience in my journey of discovering Asian culture. From the moment I entered the festival area, I was overwhelmed by the colors, sounds and excitement that filled the streets. I have attended many festivals around the world, but attending the Ha Long Carnival 2025 this time brought a very different feeling, because of the closeness, authenticity and excitement. I felt like I was not just an audience but was immersed in the festival in the heart of the coastal city of Ha Long.

Not only did I witness the spectacular, modern and attractive performances, I also got to watch the fireworks display that lit up the sky of Ha Long. I was truly happy and moved not only by the breathtaking beauty of nature, but also by the warm feelings that the people here have for each other and for tourists like us. For me, Ha Long Carnival 2025 is an emotional journey, an open door for the world to understand more about Vietnam: vibrant, friendly and developing.

Mr. Hoang Anh Huy, tourist from Hai Phong: "The performance was truly eye-catching and brilliant"

This year, the Ha Long Carnival 2025 program continues to attract a large number of people and tourists from all over. Thanks to careful preparation, arrangement of forces at many locations, and quick traffic flow, the program took place with absolute safety, no prolonged congestion, and people were extremely excited. The Ha Long Carnival stage this year was designed to be grand, with a suitable layout, the grandstand was designed to be the largest ever with a total of 15,000 seats to serve people and tourists. The most impressive were the performances of model cars Yen Tu Pagoda - Ha Long - Amusement Park - Sunworld - Ha Long Symbol - Quang Ninh - International Colors - Cruise - Ha Long Bay combined with 6 paragliders flying in the sky of brilliant fireworks, under the sea were cruise ships lined up in long rows. This is a truly eye-catching, colorful performance, full of pride, becoming unforgettable memories in the hearts of the people and tourists. I will definitely return to Ha Long in the summer.
