Ha Long Carnival 2024 thrives in digital age

“Preserving the long-lasting cultural values and taking advantage of new digital technologies will enable Quang Ninh to turn Ha Long Carnival 2024 into a unique tourism product in modern times”, said the Chairwoman of Quang Ninh PPC, Nguyen Thi Hanh, at the meeting on the preparation for this event.

During the meeting, she underlined the harmonious combination between conventional and modern factors in organizing this special festival and asked all the relevant organizations to effectively implement preparatory tasks.

The Ha Long Carnival 2024 will be a highlight among 186 tourism promotion programmes and events to be held in Quang Ninh this year. For the first time, the festival will feature performances and parades on both the sea and sandy shores of the popular UNESCO-recognised bay.

The festival is slated for the National Reunification Day (April 30) and May Day holidays at the Ocean Park in Bai Chay ward of Ha Long city, bringing together thousands of domestic and foreign artists.

The distinctive feature of this year’s festival, with the theme “Shining with the Wonder”, is the incorporation of musical art form that highlights the values of the World Natural Heritage of Ha Long Bay. 

Another special feature is the adaptation of Drone light technology combined with 3D mapping technology to depict the symbols of Ha Long and Quang Ninh.

First held in 2007, the annual event, set to promote the values of the world natural heritage of Ha Long Bay, has offered a familiar and favourite venue to both local residents and tourists.
