Carnaval Ha Long 2011 was a night full of colours, which attracted thousands of artists and visitors.
The festival entitled “Ha Long Sparkling with Colours” was opened on May 1, at Bai Chay Beach, the northern province of Quang Ninh.
This is the largest tourist event of the year in Ha Long. Crowds of people rushed into Ha Long City’s streets to have a look at the festival hours before the opening ceremony starting at 20:00 p.m, creating an atmosphere of anticipation.
In the end, the crowd swelled to thousands on the Ha Long Highway, singing and dancing along with the performing artists. For many it was a night not to forget, and for Ha Long it was a night to show itself off as not only a beautiful, but a friendly place.
