Da Nang’s relevant units are urgently implementing the installation of three check-in models at the campus at both ends of the Rong (Dragon) Bridge to serve both local residents and tourists during Christmas and New Year holidays. At the same time, procedures are being carried out to actually construct 15 floral and artistic electric light decoration clusters on 10 streets to serve the Year of Dragon 2024.

One of the eye-catching models will be installed near the western end of the Dragon Bridge opposite the Da Nang Museum of Champa Sculpture in service for Tet 2024.

Three large check-in models

In order to strengthen Da Nang’s tourism promotion and create a fresh atmosphere for the city-dwellers and tourists on the occasion of welcoming the New Year 2024, the Da Nang People's Committee has agreed on the policy of installing 3 check-in models near the western end of Dragon Bridge (on the sidewalk of Bach Dang Street) and near the eastern end of this bridge (on the sidewalk of Tran Hung Dao Street).

According to the Da Nang Department of Tourism, on the sidewalk of Bach Dang Street, opposite the headquarters of the Viet Nam Television Centre in the Central Viet Nam- Central Highlands regions (VTV8), a model ‘I Love Da Nang’ will be installed, featuring 30 large and small pinwheels arranged to create a unique pinwheel garden and alternating light with brilliant colour effects.

The pinwheels spin when there is wind, creating sparkling circles in the air, showing a city full of energy and vitality. Along with that, the words ‘I Love Da Nang’ will create a highlight for tourists to take check-in photos as a way to help spread the image and brand of Da Nang.

At an area opposite the Da Nang Museum of Champa Sculpture, a colorful model of the ‘2024’ will take the shape, and especially, it will be designed with a modern, youthful style, inspired by the colour background of the Danang Fantasticity logo, all of which are highly expected to create a space full of hope and optimism in the New Year 2024 with many good lucks.

At the northern campus of the Dragon Bridge, next to DHC marina, a 12m high light pine tree model with LED lights and blue decorations is installed to create a friendly, modern space.

Two Da Nang travel chatbot models that are 3m high will be surrounded by clusters of Christmas miniatures with the Da Nang tourism message ‘Enjoy DaNang’, to create check-in corners highly attractive to residents and tourists, especially young people and children.

According to the Da Nang Department of Tourism, all three check-in models will be constructed and installed from December 7 to 15 and put on display to serve local residents and tourists from December 16, 2023 to January 13, 2024 and then dismantled to install a flower decoration model for the Lunar New Year (Tet) 2024.

Particularly, the colourful ‘2024’ set model will be integrated into the flower decoration model for Tet and should be displayed until at least February 20, 2024.

According to General Director of Da Nang Public Lighting JSC Nguyen Dinh Hung, during Christmas and New Year holidays, the company will operate 100% of the lighting systems and decorative electric lights on streets, bridges, public areas.

The company is also preparing procedures and documents to participate in the bidding for lighting decoration for the Lunar New Year.
