According to him, at the end of the program, the organizers used fake snow to create stage effects, making the scene at Hue Imperial Citadel look like it was snowing.
A representative of the Hue Monuments Conservation Center said the beauty pageant organizers used a specialized foaming material, spraying it from the bottom up to create the effect. After the program, the unit cleaned up and restored the landscape to the monument.
