📍 Where to watch the show?

Fireworks can be seen from many points in Da Nang, but here are the best places:

  • Tribunes on the west bank of the Han River (Chan Hung Dao street, map): Best view, VIP areas with chairs and food.
  • Free Zones at the Dragon Bridge (map): Good view from a distance, but come by 18pm - places get taken quickly.
  • Rooftop restaurants (Sky36, Novotel): Cocktails from VND150, view of the show from above. Book a week in advance.

Lifehack: For the free zones, bring a folding chair and mosquito repellent—there are plenty of them by the river in the evening.

🚨 Safety tips

DIFF is fun, but there are risks in the crowd:

  • Pickpockets: In the free areas near Dragon Bridge, keep your bag in front - thieves love crowds.
  • Fake tickets: Buy only from official sellers. Scammers in Da Nang sell fakes for VND500-000.
  • Taxi: Use Grab or Gojek - regular taxis can add to your bill during festival days.
  • Weather: May–July in Da Nang is hot (25–35°C), short rains are possible. Take water and an umbrella.

Insight: Motorcycle helmets are being stolen in Da Nang. Park your bike in guarded parking lots (10,000 VND/day) and don't pay street "guards."
