While Hue boasts a serene and ancient beauty, its neighbor Da Nang is a symbol of vibrancy and modernity. Located just over two hours apart, the Hue – Da Nang route is always a top choice for those seeking a change of scenery at the beginning of the year.
This Tet holiday, leave the peaceful ancient capital behind and immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere of the city on the Han River. And for the smoothest trip, don’t forget to choose a reliable travel companion like Hung Thinh Phat.
1. Da Nang – The city of vibrant festivals
Although the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF) usually takes place in the summer, the festive atmosphere in Da Nang has already begun in the early days of the new year.
The bustling Cau Ngu Festival
Right after the Lunar New Year (usually in the first lunar month), Da Nang organizes the Cau Ngu Festival – a national intangible cultural heritage.
This is your chance to witness the local people performing the ritual of worshipping the Whale God, praying for favorable weather and abundant harvests. The festival is extremely fun with folk games such as basket shaking, boat racing, and traditional folk singing… all imbued with the salty flavor of the sea.
Check-in at “Symphony of River” & the Spring Atmosphere from Hue – Da Nang
Although major shows like Symphony of River usually explode during peak season, the stage area and entertainment complex of Danang Downtown are still decorated extremely lavishly during Tet.
- Experience: You can stroll along the Bach Dang spring flower street, watch the Dragon Bridge spew fire and water on weekends, and enjoy the lively atmosphere rarely found in Hue. Visiting Da Nang during this time is both fun and much less crowded than the summer months when you’re jostling to see fireworks.
