A park on the east bank of the Dragon Bridge in Da Nang is hosting a bazaar that has attracted thousands of locals and tourists, celebrating Christmas and New Year with a variety of cultural, artistic, and tourism activities.

Featuring dozens of diverse stalls, it offers visitors a chance to shop, savor delicious food, and soak in the festive Christmas atmosphere of Da Nang, the economic hub of central Vietnam.

The space comes alive with vibrant decorations, including pine trees, scented candles, and an array of unique Christmas ornaments.
