Rough draft
Last year, I had a chance to witness an annually firework competition which was organized in my city and it was such a memorable experience. The festival called Da Nang International Fireworks Competition (DIFC) takes place at the end of April. Last year was the 6th edition of the musical firework competition hosted by Da Nang city.
Its theme was “love of Han River” with the participation of 5 nations: Russia, Italy, Japan, USA and Viet Nam. It was considered as the biggest and most important event in the region since it displayed in 2 nights: opening and giving prize for the best teams.
Though I just saw the second night which team USA, Japan and Italy represented their performances, I was really impressed by the colorful and professional of the competition.
Each team prepared for the event for months with high effort and the most modern equipment. In the opening ceremony, there were some exchange cultural activities among 5 nations that introduce their nations’ pride or symbols. After that, each team took turn to represent their performances based on the music theme. It was the music used in the competition that became a specific trail of each nation. Each presentation was a smooth combination between colorful firework and lively music. So excellent was the show that everyone seemed to be satisfied since there were a lot of acclaims and thunderous applauses. This was such a valuable time for them to temporarily forget all the worries and enjoyed the competition.
Every year, about 500,000 spectators including local residents, tourists from all over the world stand on the banks of the Han river and watch the special show. In these nights, Da Nang scenery is brightened up by splendid and magnificent firework performances. It can be said that Da Nang has become a potential destination thanks to this international competition.
