Unlike traditional display formats, the event embraces a "living heritage" concept, allowing visitors not just to observe but to actively interact and immerse themselves in the displays. For the first time, Hanoi's history and cultural legacy are showcased via cutting-edge tools like immersive 3D mapping, kinetic LED systems, interactive walls and virtual reality.
Content centres on the defining elements of Hanoi's identity: its millennium-long historical tradition, unique urban landscapes, vibrant folk culture, and ambitions for a dynamic, creative capital in the digital age.

Through multisensory experiences, the event aims to make heritage more approachable, relatable and impactful for audiences, particularly younger and foreign tourists.
Organisers described the event as a key pilot to bring the Politburo’s Resolution 57 on breakthroughs in sci-tech, innovation and national digital transformation into life.
