It is difficult to make a decision for the 2025 DIFF championship - that is what all the judges of the final night decided and the audience completely agreed with. While China stands out with its methodical, multi-layered and magnificent international orchestra, Vietnam makes a strong impression with its emotional, sophisticated storytelling style and its national identity.
The Chinese Jiangxi Yangfeng fireworks team affirmed the strength of a fireworks powerhouse in the world with the performance "Da Nang: Brilliant Jade, City of the Future", diverse lighting effects, perfectly combined with 10 multi-tone music. The team's performance was opened with the song "The Final Countdown" combined with consecutive symmetrical round fireworks effects, opening up the feeling of a gate to the future.
In the middle is a series of rhythmic effects of Trying All and Legacy of Six - where firecrackers, landfills combined with electronic music bring space as if entering the world of technology.
In particular, the Chinese team surprised everyone by incorporating the Vietnamese song "Bac Bling" into the vibrant fireworks display, synchronized with a series of medium and low-rise fireworks running across the water surface, creating an effect like a dance of light connecting the two cultures.
The final scene of "Mountain Call" resounds amidst the high, sparkling gold and silver fireworks combined with continuous electronic fireworks, as if depicting the image of Da Nang, a pearl shining on the map of the future of Asia.
