On May 13 every year, Haiphong marks Liberation Day with cultural, tourism and festival activities to commemorate the city’s history. In 2026, the celebrations include the Red Phoenix Flower Festival under the theme “Haiphong – Converging – Shining,” marking the 71st anniversary of Haiphong’s liberation.
As part of the event, Legend Park—an attraction within the Dragon Hill International Tourism Zone in Do Son—announced a promotional admission discount for Liberation Day, offering up to 30% off. According to Legend Park’s fanpage, the promotion applies to the entertainment complex, aiming to make summer activities in Haiphong more affordable for both locals and visitors.
Dragon Hill is located in Do Son district, Haiphong, a coastal leisure, entertainment and resort area developed in the Do Son region. In November 2025, Haiphong’s People’s Committee approved Dragon Hill as a tourist destination.
The zone includes Vung Huong Beach and Dragon Beach, combining sea views with forest and mountain scenery.
Legend Park is presented as a seaside entertainment complex within Dragon Hill. The official site lists attractions including the Water Park (Thuỷ Tinh), Dragon Ocean Lighting Park, Dinosaur Park, Dragon Beach, Lagoon, and the Dragon Mangrove Forest.
In early summer, the water park is described as one of the most popular experiences. It is positioned as suitable for families with children, groups of friends, or visitors looking for a cooling break near the sea. For water activities, the article recommends prioritizing the morning or early afternoon.
Dragon Beach is described as ideal for swimming, strolling along the shoreline, taking photos, and enjoying the sea air. For day-trippers, late afternoon is noted as a more comfortable time due to milder sun and better photography conditions.
For visitors staying into the evening, the Lighting Park is suggested as an additional highlight after outdoor activities. It is described as suitable for groups of friends, families with children, or those seeking an extra evening segment to extend the Dragon Hill itinerary beyond beach time and the water park.
Lagoon and the mangrove forest are presented as lighter options for visitors who prefer nature-focused activities such as walking and sightseeing, including introducing children to an ecological area rather than focusing only on high-activity attractions.
Dragon Hill’s main advantage is that it offers many activities within a single complex. However, the article advises visitors not to try to experience everything in one day—especially when traveling with young children or elderly guests. It recommends planning 2–3 main activities in advance to make the trip more comfortable.
Against the backdrop of Haiphong’s festive atmosphere—featuring the Red Phoenix Flower Festival and city-wide celebrations—the May 13 admission discount at Dragon Hill is highlighted as a notable benefit for both locals and visitors. With its Do Son location and a mix of a water park, beaches, lighting space, and ecological experiences, the promotion is positioned as a suitable short summer option for a weekend trip.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
