This year, nearly 2,000 fireworks, including both high and low-altitude displays, will light up the sky, with 120 launch pads. The fireworks will be presented in a spectacular artistic show (without music), utilizing the FireOne system and semi-automatic L100S firing system.

According to the Da Nang Parks and Greenery Company, which is responsible for organizing the market, the sidewalk areas along the three streets adjacent to the Tiên Sơn Sports Complex will be divided into 267 stalls for local and external vendors to display and sell flowers and ornamental plants for the Lunar New Year. Of these, 238 stalls will have a frontage of 2 meters and a depth of 20 meters along Nại Nam 2, Doãn Khuê, and Nại Nam 3, while 29 stalls will have a frontage of meters and a depth of 11.4 meters along Nại Nam 3, near Phan Đăng Lưu Street.

The Da Nang City People's Committee has invested nearly 20 billion VND to create 15 flower decoration spots and 6 lighting displays for the Lunar New Year of the Dragon. These decorations are expected to be completed by February 7, 2024 (the 28th day of the 12th lunar month) and will remain on display for the public to enjoy until February 19, 2024 (the 10th day of the 1st lunar month of the Year of the Dragon).

At the southwest corner of the Dragon Bridge, just beyond the entrance, visitors will be greeted with a sculpture depicting the legend of Lạc Long Quân and Âu Cơ, representing the 50 sons who followed their father to the sea and the 50 who followed their mother to the mountains. The entrance features a dragon-shaped arch, with a stylized dragon head on the left and a phoenix figure on the right. Surrounding this area will be dragon-inspired sculptures that further enhance the decorations.
