The Da Nang team opened its display with a story about the beauty of Vietnam’s nature from its rich heritage landscapes to a message of environmental protection and a greener future.

Through its performance titled “Nature of the Heritage Land”, the Da Nang team told a story of nature as a source that has nurtured the soul of the nation through generations.

It was the sound of “ho ba trao”, the traditional chant of coastal fishing communities, or the rhythm of oars pushing toward open waters, carrying hopes and aspirations. It evoked stormy seasons that test human resilience, yet from hardship, vitality is reborn.
