Tomorrow evening, 27 May, the teams from China and the UK will produce their spectacular fireworks displays on the 3^rd night of the ongoing Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF) 2017.  The theme for this evening is ‘Metal’.

After arriving in Da Nang on 20 May, the 2 teams have had a week to prepare their fireworks at the launch location at the former Han River Port.  Yesterday, their preparatory work was basically complete.

Here are some photos of their preparations, taken by our reporter Thu Ha.

Team Liuyang Dancing Fireworks from China won first and second prizes at the Da Nang International Firework competitions in 2009 and 2012 respectively.

The team have displayed at such large-scale events in China as the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the opening ceremony of the Shanghai World Expo 2010.

A total of over 2,000 low and medium-level, and different-sized fireworks will be used by the Chinese team.

The audience will be treated to a romantic love story with 5 chapters.

This is the first time that Pyrotex Fireworx (the UK) has participated in this festival.

Many top songs will be chosen to highlight the theme of tomorrow night – Metal.

The latest fireworks technology will be applied in their show.

Many fireworks tubes have already been installed.

Mr Joe Ghazzal, the Director of Global2000 International from Malaysia who are the consultants for DIFF 2017, affirmed that both teams will be using the most advanced and modern fireworks technologies.
