On display at the event are a total of 160 photos themed ‘the images of Da Nang before 1997’ and ‘Da Nang - the city of bridges’.

Through the photos, visitors can understand more about ‘the birth’ of such highly inviting bridges as Song Han (Han River), Rong (Dragon), Tran Thi Ly and Thuan Phuoc, all of which aim to facilitate people's travel, promote trade linkages, and contribute to bringing an attractive new look to Da Nang and create unique architectural highlights for the city as well. 

In particular, visitors are treated with the ‘The stories artifacts tell’ programme during which they are briefed on Da Nang's economic development decisions in the 2000 - 2005 period, including the relocation of hundreds of households from their huts on the eastern bank of the Han River to the spacious living quarters in Nai Hien Dong Ward.
