The initiative aims to position Da Nang as a dynamic, experience-driven destination for both domestic and international travelers, particularly as the region enters the peak year-end and New Year travel season. A key highlight of the exhibition is the free hands-on activity titled “Exploring Da Nang’s Traditional Crafts”. The experience allows visitors to engage directly with cultural heritage through creative and interactive formats. From 4:30 pm to 7:00 pm each day, guests can take part in ceramic painting activities at the Thanh Ha pottery village area in Hoi An, offering an immersive introduction to local craftsmanship. In addition, visitors are invited to try their hand at traditional lantern-making under the direct guidance of artisans from Hoi An’s renowned craft villages. These interesting activities not only enrich the visitor experience but also underscore the shared cultural values and artisanal traditions of Central Vietnam. Complementing the craft experiences, the minigame “Check in Da Nang – Hunt for Lucky Gifts” runs daily from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm, encouraging interaction and engagement while promoting Da Nang as a vibrant and welcoming destination.
