Green spaces connect communities.

“Bird Storytelling Station” is an interactive sound installation space in the community, utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) to connect people with nature in the most vivid way. This model is part of the “Green Citizens - Healthy Cities” project, implemented by the Center for Living and Learning for the Environment and Community (Live & Learn) in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture and Environment and related units, starting in April 2026.

For students, the "Birdsong Listening Station" is both a tourist attraction and a place to create new and interesting extracurricular lessons about nature, in addition to textbooks. Nguyen Bao Chau, a student from Nguyen Du Secondary School (Ban Thach Ward), said: "In this space, we can learn more about different bird species and understand more about nature conservation and wildlife protection."

Currently, Da Nang has three monitoring stations located at 24/3 Square, the visitor reception area on Dam River (Ban Thach ward), which boasts a diverse ecosystem, and Cua Garden (Huong Tra ward), home to centuries-old Vietnamese heritage trees. After a period of operation, the system has recorded the presence of 49 bird species at 24/3 Square, along with 89 species at Dam River and 53 species in the Cua Garden area.

According to Mr. Bui Ngoc Huy, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Huong Tra Ward, the "Bird Storytelling Station" model demonstrates the biodiversity potential of the locality, proving the image of a "blessed land" that needs to be protected together. This also raises community awareness about ecological conservation and creates a check-in point for locals and tourists.

"In the coming time, the locality will continue to promote models that integrate culture, art, and the environment, creating healthy recreational spaces, and gradually building Huong Tra ward into a friendly, attractive, and distinctive destination," Mr. Huy said.
