For many years, tourist boats operating on the Han River have become ideal places to watch spectacular fireworks shows during the Da Nang International Fireworks Festivals (DIFF).

According to the latest statistics released by the Travel Management Office of the municipal Department of Tourism, tourist boats served a total of 1,236 and 1,200 passengers on the first and second nights of DIFF 2019 respectively. These figures showed an increase of 45% compared to normal days.

In addition to tourist boats, visitors can enjoy fireworks shows on the highest floors of such high-rise buildings as Novotel, Brilliant, Sun River, Stay and DaNang Riverside, and those of hotels along Tran Hung Dao Street.

Most notably, visitors will enjoy amazing fireworks displays from the top of the Sun World Ba Na Hills.

Mr Nguyen Ngoc Thien from the Hai Van Cat International Travel Co Ltd said that his company has launched a new tour to watch sunset and fireworks from the top of the Sun World Ba Na Hills. Specifically, visitors will arrive in the tourist site at 4.00pm and return to the city at 9.30pm.

According to a spokesperson for the Department of Tourism, most of accommodation providers across the city have kept their room rates unchanged over the festival period.

However, some hotels located along the both banks of the Han River which boast favourable position to watch fireworks performances are increasing their room rates by between 20% and 40% above normal days over the festival period.
