Once a place steeped in melancholy legends, Dalat’s iconic Lake of Sighs has now undergone a magnificent transformation! Spanning 39 hectares, Delight Park now shines brilliantly — a dreamlike wonderland bathed in shimmering lights. At the heart of this fantastical realm, an epic spectacle destined to mark a new chapter in Vietnam’s cultural tourism history unveils its mysterious curtain upon the vast waters of Frost Plum Lake.
Following the social media sensation of Vietnam’s first immersive night tour “Starry Fairyland of Penglai”, BB Group Vietnam once again joins hands with globally renowned cultural tourism company Vanyee to proudly present another grand production — the artistic spectacular “The Epic of Au Lac”. This stunning lights-and-water show on Frost Plum Lake has officially premiered to great acclaim!
Through the eye of the divine mirror
Vietnam’s thousand-year epic unfolds in all its grandeur
Imagine yourself seated beneath the cool night sky of Da Lat. Before you, the vast lake is no longer just water — it becomes a grand, magical mirror of history. In this moment, you are not merely a spectator, but a “traveler within the mirror,” stepping into the sweeping epic of Vietnam’s ancient civilization.
This is Vietnam’s first-ever epic immersive lake spectacle — a soul-stirring dialogue across time and space. Rooted in the grand narrative of Vietnamese history, the creative team unveils a magnificent national epic through the “Divine Mirror” that bridges past and present. As the story unfolds, you’ll witness the grandeur of nine monumental chapters in Vietnam’s legendary saga.
From the primordial creation by the Heavenly Pillar God at the dawn of the cosmos, to the union of Lord Lac Long and Lady Au Co, who gave birth to the sacred lineage of a hundred eggs; from the Hung Kings laying the nation’s foundation and Van Lang igniting the spark of civilization; to Emperor Ly Thai To establishing Thang Long as the imperial heart of the nation, Tran Hung Dao's brilliance at Bach Dang driving back invaders, Emperor Tran Nhan Tong’s enlightened reign and peaceful diplomacy, and Princess Huyen Tran’s heartfelt devotion to her people. The journey continues into modern times with President Ho Chi Minh leading the path to national salvation, and General Vo Nguyen Giap’s resounding victory at Dien Bien Phu — culminating in the unification of the land and the birth of a renewed Vietnam.
“The Epic of Au Lac” weaves together Vietnam’s cultural grandeur, uniting three glorious chapters — from creation mythology, to imperial prosperity, to national liberation and unification. Through nine iconic figures and pivotal events, the performance not only brings history to life, but also reaches deep into the soul of a nation, awakening a profound sense of cultural identity and pride. This is a breathtaking cultural epic — a tribute to every son and daughter of Vietnam, and a window for the world to understand the spirit of Vietnam.
With heaven and earth as the stage
a dreamlike epic unfolds through the power of technology
“The Epic of Au Lac” will redefine your understanding of “stage” and “performance.” With the entire lake as its canvas and cutting-edge technology as its brush, this groundbreaking immersive spectacle paints an epic tapestry of Vietnamese civilization like never before. Every second of sound, light, electricity, water, and fire weaves together to push the boundaries of the senses — bringing you face to face with divine creation, heroic battles, and the dazzling fusion of cultures. This is the pinnacle of technology-empowered art.
A “Magical” Floating Stage of Mirrors
To bring this sweeping history to life, we created the nation's first-ever themed modular kinetic installation. At the center of the lake, seven massive LED screens break free from conventional limitations. Mounted on a sophisticated rail system, they form a “magical floating mirror stage” — gliding with lifelike fluidity, seamlessly combining and transforming in real time. These dynamic structures can instantly morph into towering mountains, majestic dragons, or radiant crown symbols, allowing historical scenes to be reborn across the vast water surface, painting a living epic in motion.
The “Flying” Twin-Dragon Fountain
The 70-meter-wide water screen in front of the stage is no ordinary fountain. At times, it transforms into a soaring golden roc; at others, it becomes a vivid scene of “twin dragons playing with a pearl.” Towering vertical jets pierce the sky, arching sprays form rainbow bridges, air bursts thunder across the lake, while fire, mist, and fog effects intertwine to create a dreamlike, mystical haze. Here, water is imbued with a soul of artistic metamorphosis and awe-inspiring expression.
The “Dancing” Robotic Arms
At the back of the stage, 16 sets of 30-meter-high dynamic water jets dance in perfect rhythm. But the real showstopper lies in the background — massive intelligent robotic arms that lie dormant on the lake by day, only to rise like dragons breaking through the water when the performance begins. Lifting dazzling lights, razor-sharp lasers, and blazing flames, they instantly expand the stage from a flat surface into a three-dimensional sky. Water and fire intertwine, light and shadow perform in harmony — an explosive fusion of technology and the future.
“Time-Traveling” Digital Visual Spectacle
The entire performance harnesses cutting-edge digital multimedia technology, paired with mobile LED screen installations, to create cinematic-scale historical scenes where legendary figures seem to step out of the mirror — vivid and within reach. Whether it’s the primordial chaos of creation, the fierce clash of armies, or the opulence of imperial courts, every frame is rendered with film-grade detail and atmosphere, delivering a breathtaking visual experience at the pinnacle of digital performance art.
Unfolding the Night as a Scroll
Illuminating a New Era of Da Lat’s Nighttime Tourism
The debut of The Epic of Au Lac marks a milestone not only for Da Lat, but for Vietnam’s entire cultural tourism landscape. It signals the city’s official entry into a new “golden moment” of nighttime tourism. As a powerful new magnet for global travelers, the show is expected to significantly extend visitor stays in Da Lat and activate the surrounding ecosystem of nighttime consumption — including dining, lodging, and shopping — ushering in a vibrant new chapter for the local economy.
This landmark lake spectacle presents the treasures of Vietnamese culture in a stunning, modern, and world-class format. It not only greatly enhances national pride, but also showcases Vietnam’s remarkable strides in cultural tourism through the fusion of creativity, technology, and artistry. As a benchmark for nighttime cultural tourism, it sets a pioneering example — offering valuable insight and inspiration for innovative tourism development across other regions.
