A notable highlight of the 2026 season is its distinctive cultural shift. While the 2024 edition told a heritage-centered story in the serene city of Hue, the 2026 competition will embody youthful dynamism and elegance as it takes place in Hai Phong city. This transition represents not merely a change in venue, but a convergence between the depth of heritage and the vibrancy of a modern urban center.
