The program showcases the beauty of the sea and the vast forests, celebrating the merger of Dak Lak and Phu Yen provinces into the new Dak Lak province.
The program began with the song and dance performance "Lullaby of Au Lac," combined with mapping art, creating a captivating visual and auditory space.

It depicts the unique cultural colors of the ethnic groups living in this land, while also expressing the aspiration to rise and enter a new era.

Mr. Huynh Tu Nhan, Deputy Director in charge of the Sao Bien Folk Music and Dance Theatre, who directed the artistic direction and wrote the script for the program, shared: “The theatre and the Dak Lak Ethnic Music and Dance Troupe collaborated to produce this program to serve the people and tourists visiting the eastern region of Dak Lak. The program celebrates the cultural characteristics and beauty of the land and people in the western and eastern parts of Dak Lak, from the mountains to the coastal plains, reflecting the blend of two different cultural spaces, working together to build and develop.”
One of the highlights of the program was the interaction with Miss Vietnam 2024 Ha Truc Linh and Miss Tourism Ambassador Vietnam 2024 Dinh Thi Hoa. Amidst the excitement and enthusiastic cheers of the audience, Miss Ha Truc Linh shared that returning to her hometown – a region in the eastern part of Dak Lak province – made her feel emotional and proud. Not only was she loved by her family and friends, but Truc Linh was also warmly welcomed by the local people. This gives her strength for her journey ahead.
Miss Tourism Ambassador Vietnam 2024, Dinh Thi Hoa, said that after winning the title last summer, on her journey to fulfill her mission as a tourism ambassador, she chose Phu Yen (formerly) as the first province to carry out meaningful promotional activities. Referring to the folk verse, "The Ba River flows down to Da Rang/ Who loves Dak Lak as much as Phu Yen?", Miss Dinh Thi Hoa expressed her feelings about the merger of Dak Lak and Phu Yen into the new Dak Lak province. "Hoa believes this will be an opportunity for her – a daughter of Dak Lak province – to strive and dedicate herself to further promote the image of the new Dak Lak, attracting more domestic and international tourists to the new Dak Lak," said Miss Tourism Ambassador Vietnam 2024.
