Upon its official inauguration, the expanded APEC Sculpture Garden in Da Nang has quickly attracted a great deal of attention from both local residents and visitors, emerging as an attractive new site for sightseeing strolls and relaxation. Especially on the evening, this venue looks like a colourful work of arts.

The expanded APEC Sculpture Garden is dubbed as an architectural highlight on the eastern bank of the iconic Han River. From 7:00p.m onwards, this place is impressively lit up in many highly-inviting colours, blending with the glittering night-time image of the city at night. Photo: XUAN SON

The highlight of the expanded project is the kite-shaped dome entitled ‘High Flying Kite’, which was made of nearly 200 tonnes of raw steel and installed by the Ha Giang- Phuoc Tuong Mechanical Joint Stock Company. Photo: XUAN SON
