With the theme “Experience Pa Khoang - Cherry Blossom Viewing”, the opening art program of the festival is divided into three chapters: “ Dien Bien Impressions”, “Endless Beauty”, “Vietnam - Japan Friendship”. The songs performed feature the cultural characteristics of the ethnic groups in Dien Bien province, along with the cultural exchange between Vietnam and Japan in songs, costumes, and images imbued with Japanese culture.

Chapter II "Endless Beauty" opens with the song Gentle Pa Khoang.

After the rehearsal, the Festival Organizing Committee, crews, and event organizers discussed, contributed, and received professional opinions as well as had backup plans, completed the script, edited sound, lighting, choreography, etc.

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Vu A Bang gave comments to the team implementing the opening program.

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Vu A Bang suggested that the lighting needs to be adjusted to match the performing costumes of the ethnic communities in Dien Bien province. In addition, it is necessary to supplement, combine, and integrate images that are typical of the land and people of Dien Bien as well as activities that demonstrate the friendship and cooperation between Vietnam and Japan. At the same time, include artistic performances imbued with Japanese culture to create harmony and hospitality for the festival. The implementing units and teams need to further strengthen the connection between the content sections; complete the program script layout; focus on more diverse and rich documentary images and illustrations of the province's relics...
