Hello everyone!

After more than two years of closing international commercial flights due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, on March 27, the first flight landed at Da Nang airport, bearing the number SQ172. Including more than 300 tourists from Singapore and Thailand. The Danang Department of Tourism has organized events to celebrate the return of international flights. The message for this comeback is "welcome back to the world". Previously, international travellers had to have test results and a vaccine passport. Because of these difficult barriers, during this time, international tourists who want to visit Vietnam only need to have PCR test results within 72 hours and do not have to undergo mandatory isolation as before. These are good signals for tourism in Vietnam and the whole world. To welcome the return of city tourism, the Danang Department of Tourism organized an outdoor event. This event was held at the APEC park, during the event was the performance of hot air balloons flying in the sky at APEC park.

The venue for the Da Nang hot air balloon festival was held at the APEC park, located in the middle of the city centre, west of the Da Nang Dragon Bridge. Expanded APEC Park is one of the new constructions built in Da Nang city, the park is located next to the romantic Han River. APEC Park was built in 2017, during the celebration of the APEC forum meeting, held in Da Nang city. During the period influence of the pandemic, the tourism of Da Nang city has been severely affected and during this time, the city of Da Nang has begun to rebuild new buildings and intersections. important city, reduce traffic congestion. In the early days of 2022, Da Nang city inaugurated the expansion of the APEC park, which is called "a high-flying kite". This is one of the newly built works bearing an artistic mark, with an iron block weighing nearly 200 tons, winding like a kite flying in the wind. Viewed from above, APEC park is built with a perspective in a triangle, next to the park is the Han river and the Cham-Pa sculpture museum. APEC Park is the connecting point of tourist attractions of Da Nang city, soon, the APEC park area will be made into a walking city. This will be one of the first pedestrian streets in Da Nang city. If you come to Da Nang, do you want to walk here, to admire this construction and the poetic river with unique bridges on this river?

To celebrate this return, Da Nang city held a hot air balloon festival at this park. The festival takes place on March 27, from 6 pm to 8 pm. This is the first hot air balloon festival held in Da Nang city, with 17 hot air balloons flying around APEC park. This event was held in favourable weather conditions, if viewed from above you can easily see that the streets of Da Nang city on March 27 are quite crowded and bustling. I have not seen these images for over 2 years, looking at these images makes me feel very happy that the Covid nightmare has gradually disappeared and become a common disease. As a tour guide, during the past two years, my life has been very difficult and today is the moment that will mark the return of Vietnam tourism.

I have witnessed hot air balloon festivals in Hue city, but this is the first time I have seen hot air balloons in Da Nang city. Have you ever seen how hot air balloons can fly to the sky? I was quite lucky to get close enough to the balloon. Before the balloon goes up, the balloon technician will blow the air inside the balloon, there will be a person inside taking the balloons' strings, making the balloon more inflated. . After the balloon is inflated with a certain amount of gas, the gas platforms will be turned on, the fuel of the burner is made of propane gas, which is stored in liquid compressed form. When the technician ignites the fire, the flame heats the air inside the balloon. Then the balloon will begin to expand and begin to rise into the air. In this event, the hot air balloon will fly up to about 20 30m and keep it fixed for visitors to see.

At night when the city lights up, it is also the most beautiful time here. The lights of the streets and bridges accentuated the balloons. The streets of Da Nang are also quite crowded, this is also the time when people gather the most since the Vietnamese team won the SEA Games 30 men's football championship. Looking at the Han River at night at APEC park, everyone People can see the dragon bridge in Da Nang. The dragon is constantly changing colours, making a prominent highlight for the poetic Han River.
