Tours combined with music shows in Ha Long Bay
Along with the great values of natural landscape, Ha Long boasts a cultural history. Music shows on the sea have emerged as a new magnet to domestic and international tourists.
Taking advantage of the natural beauty that attracts tourists, in recent years, Ha Long has launched another type of attractive tourism, including music tourism.
The diversity of the mini music stages in Ha Long has gradually shaped the tastes of audiences who consider this wonder city as a destination to enjoy weekend music.
A variety of shows on the bay have recently brought tourists new experiences. Some cruise ships such as Sea Octopus, Ambassador, Paradise Delight, Pacific, Iris, etc. offer music concerts which take place in the romantic sunset space of Ha Long Bay, with the backdrop of Bai Chay bridge and high-rise buildings lighting up, bringing new and joyful experience to visitors. Tourists are immersed into the beauty of natural scenery and favorite music melodies while enjoying typical cuisine.
More than 10,000 tourists have experienced music nights on the floating stage of Ha Long Bay - Love in the bay by Ambassador Cruise since 2023. This special stage has become an alluring tourism product that tourists choose to experience the heritage bay at night. Since June 16, 2024, APC Corporation and FPT Play Television have launched the "Time Crossroads" program with the theme "Love in the bay" playing classic and well-remembered songs on the Ambassador Cruise.
With a long-lasting fishing culture, Quang Ninh province possesses a vast treasure of endemic folk songs performed by local fishermen. This is a typical cultural identity representing the typical beauty of local people’s spiritual life. It should be a great idea to link the performance of those songs to tours in Ha Long Bay so as to keep promoting the local unique culture.
Ha Long Carnival Festival held annually in the summer is a vibrant and colorful cultural and artistic event on the shore of heritage, opening up exciting summer days of tourism. Quang Ninh has strived to make this festival a product that positions the national tourism brand.
Ha Long Carnival often brings together thousands of domestic creative teams, leading artists, and craftsmen, as well as troupes from other countries. The stage is set to harmoniously combine elements both on the shore and on the sea, with hundreds of vessels participating.
The program incorporates elements of musical theater art, harmoniously combining with history and culture to highlight the values of the Ha Long Bay natural heritage.
A notable highlight of the 2024 Carnival held on April 28 was the drone light displays, featuring illuminated models combined with fireworks displays, LED technology, sound, and light, etc.
On a smaller scale, music shows held by Paradise, a cruise and hotel brand, on the beach represents the harmonious combination of natural scenery and art. Tourism firms are also developing a variety of performing arts, aiming at sustainable cultural development, specifically making seascapes of stories around Ha Long Bay.
With favourable natural landscapes, on the banks of romantic Ha Long Bay, visitors to Ha Long now have more options to enjoy Ha Long night. Not only looking at the sea, eating seafood on the rafts or going to the bar, visitors can immerse themselves in romantic, rustic, and intimate music.
