The show utilizes many modern projection techniques, creating vivid light and image effects on the water and surrounding space, including: water screen projection, mapping on real architecture, laser technology and high-powered lights creating beam effects that sweep across the sky and reflect onto the lake, interactive open space, utilizing the landscape of Hoan Kiem Lake as a "living backdrop," transforming Hoan Kiem Lake into an open stage where history, culture, and technology intersect in a unique visual and auditory experience.

Through the language of light and visual art, the glorious historical landmarks and distinctive stories of Hanoi will be vividly recreated, offering the public a new and emotionally resonant experience.

The evening of August 29th will be themed "Thang Long Convergence," taking the audience back to the legend of the founding of the capital city, from the milestone of moving the capital to the successful August Revolution, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam).

The evening of August 30th, themed "Sounds of Hanoi," will lead viewers into a depth of emotion, where everyday memories transform into the gentle melodies of the capital, reflected in the sparkling light on the waters of Ho Guom Lake.

Organized by the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports and Vietsoftpro Company, the program is a gift to the people of the capital city to celebrate the 80th anniversary of National Day on September 2nd.
