A joyful Christmas atmosphere is reaching every corner of Da Nang, from shopping malls, hotels, restaurants to streets illuminated with multi-coloured lights.

Some entertainment areas and other public areas citywide have been decked up for the Christmas season, whilst the streets have been crowded with local residents and visitors enjoying the celebrations.

Here are some amazing photos, captured by our reporters Xuan Son and Khoi Nguyen, which reflect the colourful and bustling atmosphere of the jubilant Christmas season in the city.

Such Christmas season-related items as Christmas trees, wooden houses, Santa Clauses, and Santa's reindeers are being decorated in front of many hotels and restaurants.
