KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 5 (Bernama) -- The United Arab Emirates (UAE) team emerged champion at the Ever Glamour Nha Trang (EGN) 2024 festival after two nights of competition, which concluded on Aug 3 with a dazzling display of drone light performances.

Concurrently, the Korean, French, and Chinese teams won the awards for Best Technical Performance, Best Image, and Best Story, respectively, according to a statement.

The UAE team, nicknamed “Light Wizards”, combined the ultra-lightweight and superlight drones with pyrotechnics and in-depth local cultural understanding to highlight Vietnamese rich history and culture, from the Dong Son bronze drum to the symbolic Lac Bird, lotus flower, as well as the vibrancy of Nha Trang.

Meanwhile, the French team, nicknamed the “Sky Artists”, used 1,000 drones combined with fire magic performances. Previously, on the opening night held on July 13, the Korean and Chinese teams ignited the stage with their groundbreaking performances.

Dubbed the “King of Pyrodrone”, the Korean teams brought the first-ever drone performance with silent fireworks in Southeast Asia, whereas, the Chinese team brought stunning visuals and popular Vietnamese songs to illustrate Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa as a harmonious blend of heritage, modernity, and the aspiration for growth.

That same evening, Khanh Hoa made history as the first locality in the country to receive two prestigious Guinness World Records, namely, “The World's Biggest Light Show of Wonders” and “The World's Biggest Light Show of Vietnamese Cultural Symbols - Lac Bird”.

Besides contributing to increasing the number of Guinness records in Vietnam, Khanh Hoa also proved its name as one of the most beautiful bays in the world and the premier destination for light shows using unmanned aerial devices.

EGN 2024 attracted more than 50 million live views on media channels and more than five million interactions on social media, spreading the Khanh Hoa image to domestic and international tourists.

The event is directed by the Khanh Hoa Provincial People’s Committee, organised by the Khanh Hoa Department of Tourism and Corex Business Solutions, and endorsed by renowned global and domestic brands such as Vinpearl, VinWonders, Agribank, VCN, Chicilon Media, and Shojiki.
