Tonight, 3 June, the teams from Australia and Italy will produce their colourful fireworks displays on the 4^th night of the ongoing Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF) 2017.  The theme for this evening is ‘Water’.

This is the most anticipated competition night because both the teams have vast experiences in fireworks display.

Yesterday, the two teams were ready their fireworks at the launching location at the former Han River Port.

Here are some photos of their preparations, taken by our reporter Thu Ha.
