In addition, a fireworks display at Con Bap Tourist Area (Hoi An ward) will expand the viewing area, spreading the spirit of spring from the Han River bank to the ancient town.

Organizing fireworks displays on a city-wide scale, encompassing heritage sites, not only provides a sacred moment to welcome the new year but also demonstrates Da Nang's ability to organize synchronized and well-organized events, where spring is not limited by geographical boundaries but is fully felt within the rhythm of daily life.
