According to Mr. Tran Hai Ha - Acting Director of Dien Bien Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, New Year celebration activities have become annual activities of the province, but this year they are organized in a new form, with a more modern approach, suitable for the trend of enjoying culture and entertainment of a large number of people and tourists.
This is an effort to serve the people, create a joyful atmosphere in the moment of transition, and at the same time promote the image of Dien Bien land and people, stimulating tourism demand" - Mr. Ha said.
According to the Organizing Committee, the art program is designed in a continuous manner, taking the audience through many levels of emotions. From deep live melodies, the space gradually shifts to the explosion of vibrant DJ music sets for young people.
Especially, for the first time in Dien Bien, the audience was satisfied with the "Light Dance" performance. The combination of skillful dance, LED lighting system and advanced performance technology also created a strong visual effect, "igniting" the night festival atmosphere.
Besides the music party, visitors can also experience culinary culture at booths introducing delicious Northwest specialties and participate in a free beer festival.
