In these days, the bustling and cheerful Mid-Autumn Festival atmosphere has overwhelmed every corner of Da Nang. Notably, lion dance performances this year are somewhat different, allowing people to enjoy, thereby creating a more bustling festive atmosphere than ever.

These days, many people in Da Nang flocked to major streets to watch lion dance performances.

In recent years, lion dancing during the Mid-Autumn Festival is not only a traditional entertainment activity, but also is an opportunity for lion dance troupes across the city to demonstrate their professionalism and the scale of their investment.

As recorded by our reporter on Nguyen Van Linh Street on September 16 evening, a dense crowd followed the Tu Cau lion dance troupe in Da Nang. It turned out that this year, this lion dance troupe performed tightrope lion dancing. This skill has not been performed by many lion dance troupes in Da Nang for many years. Perhaps that is why the tightrope performance of the Tu Cau lion dance troupe drew much attention from a large number of people.

In addition, the Children's Culture Palace, Helio Park and other entertainment venues across the city were crowded with people. Dozens of lion dance troupes with beautiful performances at the Helio night market attracted many families with young children to watch, creating a joyful atmosphere for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival was even more special when trade unions at all levels and schools citywide have organisers "Full Moon Festival Night" programmes on a smaller scale to save funds to support people in the flood-hit areas in North Viet Nam.

Many pupils contributed their own money to help needy people in the northern region, making this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival atmosphere even warmer and more bustling.
