Da Nang has opened APEC Sculpture Park – an extension of the 2017-built APEC Park – on the west bank of the Hàn River, as a new architecture check-in spot and public destination for the tourism hub.

The city said the park, which was built on 8,600sq.m with total investment of VNĐ759 billion (US$33 million), features a large steel arch in the shape of a flying kite on an open site for tourists and local residents.

The park offers a ground floor and a space for souvenirs, a green area, arts decoration, free public exhibitions and a water fountain between Dragon bridge and Cham Sculpture Museum.

It’s an extension area of the APEC Park where Da Nang opened 3,000sq.m sculpture garden for the opening of the 2017 APEC Summit in the city – with a display of 18 sculptures from APEC member economies.

Da Nang designed a spot for street art performance on the Hàn River banks, Bach Dang pedestrian street and a night market between the Hàn Swing Bridge and the iconic Dragon Bridge. The city has been growing trees in public parks and residential areas as part of rapid urbanisation, as Da Nang plans to become ‘a green and smart city’ by 2030
