Inspired by the ancient trading port, VUI-Fest Ha Long is an open space where visitors can shop, enjoy cuisine, and experience cultural activities all in one destination.

The "creative trading stations" are not just stalls but also interactive points where visitors can discover handicrafts, designer gifts, and participate in experiential activities such as auctions and performances. This organization contributes to recreating the bustling trading spirit of Ha Long, while also creating a discovery-oriented consumption space. The system of culinary kiosks gathers Quang Ninh specialties along with many international options, arranged in an open space, allowing visitors to enjoy food while immersing themselves in the festive atmosphere.

Red Sailboat and Fireworks Show – Climax of the Bay Night Experience

The nighttime experience series at VUI-Fest Ha Long is brought to a climax by the combination of a red sailboat water show and high-altitude artistic fireworks, creating a seamless performance scenario on the bay space.

It begins with a water light show featuring 6 red sailboats parading in a meticulously arranged formation. In synchronized movement with light effects, the boats create the image of 6 "spiritual essences" of Ha Long converging, before merging into the "dragon of light" figure on the bay – a symbol associated with the legend of creating the wonder.

Immediately after, the space continues with a daily high-altitude fireworks display. Thousands of fireworks with over 50 effects are presented against the bay's sky, combined with music and lighting systems to create an impressive visual whole. The firing time is around 9 PM from April 25th.
