Chauffeured Car for the DIFF 2027 Fireworks: Road Closures and Safe Pick-Up Points

A chauffeured private car to watch the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF 2027) is a safe and flexible way to travel for families with older people or young children during the festival nights.

On the Saturday evenings when international teams compete with fireworks, tens of thousands of residents and visitors head at the same time to both banks of the Han River. Without a good grasp of the traffic diversion plans and road closures set by the authorities, driving yourself or moving at random can easily lead to local congestion lasting hours.

How traffic is diverted and which streets are closed

Based on the traffic management plans of the city police and the Department of Transport in recent DIFF seasons, traffic checkpoints are usually set up in three safety rings.

1. Ring 1: all motor vehicles banned

The central area around the firing area and the official grandstand on the east bank of the Han River, along Tran Hung Dao road from the Van Don junction to the foot of the Dragon Bridge, may be closed to traffic while the show is on, as set out in official notices, until the crowds have dispersed.

• Cars, motorbikes, bicycles and street-vendor carts are banned from this lane.
• Only pedestrians holding grandstand tickets or the organising committee’s work passes may pass through the security checkpoints.

2. Ring 2: car traffic restricted during peak hours

The approach roads around the zone include Ngo Quyen road, Le Van Duyet road, Nguyen Cong Tru road and Pham Van Dong road (east bank), as well as Bach Dang, Tran Phu and Le Duan roads (west bank).

• Car traffic may be restricted at peak times on firing nights, as set out in official notices.
• Entering this area depends on the organising committee’s rules for that year, so check the notices before you go.

3. Rules for crossing the bridges over the Han River

• Song Han Bridge and Thuan Phuoc Bridge: All vehicles may be banned before the firing, to ensure safety and keep room for viewing the high-altitude fireworks.
• Dragon Bridge and Tran Thi Ly Bridge: Traffic is switched to one-way flow, or motor vehicles are temporarily halted around the time of the firing, as set out in official notices. This stops people from stopping on the bridge and causing dangerous congestion.

Difficulties of getting around on your own on fireworks nights

Many first-time visitors to Da Nang during the festival season run into avoidable transport problems:

1. Local loss of mobile signal: With so many people packed into a small area by the river, mobile base stations can become congested on the 4G and 5G networks. Opening a ride-hailing app such as Grab or Be may fail to connect to its server.
2. Surging fares and drivers cancelling: When the fireworks end, demand for rides spikes. Ride-hailing fares may rise sharply, and drivers may still not accept the trip.
3. Tiring walks from far away: If you ride a two-wheeler and leave it in informal car parks outside the zone, you will have to push through dense crowds after the show, and breathe in smoky, dusty air, to retrieve it.

Advantages of booking a Sun Travel private car for pick-up and drop-off

Booking a chauffeured private car from Sun Travel makes a family’s fireworks trip far more relaxed:

• Agreed drop-off points outside the closed zone: A driver will guide you to the most convenient drop-off point, such as the Ngo Quyen and Nguyen Cong Tru crossing or the car park on Vo Van Kiet road. You then need to walk only a short distance to reach the grandstand.
• A car arranged for the evening: The air-conditioned car is arranged to wait at a safe car park outside the closed zone. When the fireworks finish, you walk back to the original meeting point. The free waiting time and any surcharge for a long wait are set out in the trip terms on the route page and repeated in your trip confirmation.
• Flexible pick-up from Hoi An and beach resorts: For guests staying in Hoi An or in resorts along Truong Sa road, the private car collects you from the resort lobby at 15:30 in the afternoon, takes you for a light dinner at local specialty restaurants before the fireworks, and brings the whole group safely back to your rooms the same night.

Choosing the right vehicle for your family size

Sun Travel runs well-maintained vehicles in several sizes, so each group can be matched to the right car. The models listed below are examples from the fleet, and the specific vehicle is confirmed for each trip:

• 4-seat sedan: Models such as the Toyota Vios and Hyundai Accent suit couples or small families of two to three people.
• 7-seat SUV or MPV: Models such as the Mitsubishi Xpander, the Toyota Fortuner or electric cars offer a spacious seating area and high ground clearance, suited to families with young children and older people.
• 16-seat large-cabin vehicle: Models such as the Ford Transit or Hyundai Solati serve tour groups and groups of colleagues of eight to 12 people who want to watch the fireworks together.
