The event, with the theme of Vietnam-Republic of Korea cultural exchange, has been organized by the Da Nang International Terminal Investment and Operation Joint Stock Company (AHT).

The international passenger terminal has been beautifully decorated to showcase the traditions of both countries, featuring symbols such as ancient houses in Hoi An, Hanok traditional houses, star-shaped lanterns, and Korean moon rabbits.

International visitors were highly impressed with the art performances presented by Trung Vuong Theater’s artists, which included Korean folk dances, Vietnamese bamboo dancing, and lion dances.
