DIFF 2026 Grand Opening: Da Nang and China Tell Two Different Stories About Nature

On the evening of May 30, the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF) 2026 officially opened with an emotional performance by two teams: host Da Nang (Vietnam) and defending champion China. Both explored the theme 'Nature,' but each team brought a unique story, leaving a deep impression on the audience.

The host team Da Nang's performance focused on the pristine, poetic beauty of Vietnam's nature, from the S-shaped land to famous scenic spots. Meanwhile, the Chinese team chose a modern and symbolic storytelling approach, showcasing the power of nature through vibrant colors and subtle light effects. This contrast not only created appeal but also affirmed DIFF's international class.

The meticulously choreographed fireworks displays, combined with music and lights, turned Da Nang's sky into a vibrant painting. Audiences at the Dragon Bridge area and along the Han River were in awe of every explosive moment. The opening night of DIFF 2026 was truly a special gift for visitors and city residents, kicking off a lively summer with many surprises in the following competition nights.
