In recent years, along with the orientation of developing the night economy, Quang Ninh has gradually expanded outdoor art performance spaces; in which, street music has become a new highlight in the tourism product chain.
In Hong Gai ward, one of the tourist centers of Quang Ninh, the street music program "Hong Gai Sound" is held on weekend evenings at Vinhomes Square and Ha Long Flower Park.
With an open outdoor stage, the program not only brings art performances but also creates a space for exchange between artists and audiences.
Dance groups and folk dance clubs participate in performances, contributing to increasing community spirit and vitality for urban space.
According to Mr. Nguyen Van Hoc (group 1, Hong Ha 3 area, Ha Long ward), maintaining regular weekend programs helps form new cultural living habits, adding entertainment destinations right in the central area. We really hope the program will be organized periodically and regularly.
In Bai Chay ward, the program "Sounds by the Bay" attracts many tourists to stop to enjoy music after daytime activities such as visiting Ha Long Bay and swimming.
Mr. Tran Hoang Hiep, a tourist from Hanoi, assessed this as a new experience, contributing to enriching the evening tourism itinerary in Quang Ninh. However, adding more types such as circus and street magic will make the program more attractive.
Currently, street music activities in Quang Ninh are often associated with pedestrian streets. Some spaces have been formed and maintained, such as Mong Cai and Tien Yen pedestrian streets, with art performances, pairings, and quizzes with prizes taking place regularly.
In the Van Don special zone, two pedestrian routes Minh Chau and Quan Lan have also been put into operation from May 1st and May 2nd, contributing to expanding the nighttime tourism experience space.
In the Bai Chay ward area, the VUI-Fest Ha Long entertainment - culinary complex (Sun Elite City) was also just opened on the evening of April 25.
This model combines culinary space, street music and art activities, recreating the atmosphere of "prosperous trading port" by the heritage bay.
According to the organizing unit, the complex aims to develop a large-scale night entertainment space, contributing to extending stay time and increasing tourist spending.
The development of street music products and outdoor performance spaces is a suitable step in Quang Ninh's four-season tourism development strategy.
These activities not only supplement night tourism products but also contribute to shaping the image of a dynamic, modern, and rich in cultural and entertainment experiences Quang Ninh.
In the context of increasing destination competition, the expansion of street music space is expected to continue to create more attraction for local tourism in the coming time.
