Near the riverbank of Tran Hung Dao street (Son Tra district), people gathered in the Han river bank area to "reserve places" to watch fireworks.

Traveling with her family by car from Dong Hoi City ( Quang Binh Province) to Da Nang City to watch the fireworks, Ms. Nguyen Lan Huong (35 years old) said that although she had bought tickets for the final night, many places were "sold out". So early, her whole family brought food and drinks and found a spot by the riverside to wait for the performance.

Similarly, Mr. Nguyen Van Nhan (29 years old, resident of Thanh Khe district) said that the performance of the fireworks teams from China and Finland on the 4th night of the show made a strong impression on thousands of locals and tourists.

Therefore, Da Nang people also want to see the competition of the two teams. Although they have bought tickets for the final night, many places are "sold out".
