Refreshing night-time tourism experiences

Along with the effective development of daytime tourism products, Quang Ninh’s tourism sector is focusing on diversifying and upgrading night-time offerings to encourage longer stays and increase tourism spending.

With more than 100 cruise vessels currently in operation, Ha Long International Cruise Port this year has added four large-capacity vessels to serve its “Cruise Night Street”. The service is expected to accommodate between 2,000 and 3,000 visitors each day seeking culinary experiences and night-time sightseeing on Ha Long Bay.

In addition to enhancing existing products, the tourism sector continues to introduce new night-time experiences that integrate technology and enrich cultural engagement. The Night Museum programme at the Quang Ninh Museum offers visitors a new way to explore local historical and cultural values. Meanwhile, VuiFest Ha Long attracts visitors with 3D mapping performances, artistic fireworks displays and other entertainment activities.

Having been piloted at several key tourism destinations across Quang Ninh between 2023 and 2025, night-time tourism activities will be soon expanded province-wide with a more professional and high-quality approach. The initiative is expected to enhance the province’s appeal, create additional momentum for tourism growth and further strengthen Quang Ninh’s position as an attractive year-round destination.
