Dr. Tran Van khe commented on the Royal Palace By Night that: “the games included in the Royal Palace By Night are well research and interesting. Many of them remind me of my childhood. My maternal grandfather was interested in the bamboo stick throwing, which is a highlighted game in the Royal Palace By Night. Besides, the existence of poetry and traditional music in the program is valuable. In my observation, the game called Poem Guessing attracts the youth. That game requires the sense of literature and culture. Only the Royal Palace By Night can manage to reflect all of those things.”
The Royal Palace By Night 2014 hopes to bring about new emotions that could reach every sense of participants. The light, the smoke, the fire, the performance and exhibition will attract the sight; the smell of aloe wood, lotus, incense at the entrances of the Imperial City will attract the nose; the sounds of music performance, game, nature and human will attract the ears; the gastronomy will attract the taste; and the games, lanterns and royal costumes will influence the touch.
