In celebration of the 2024 Lunar New Year, Hanoi will host 32 fireworks display locations across the city on Lunar New Year's Eve, including nine locations featuring high-altitude fireworks, with 600 fireworks each.
The announcement was made by Mr. Truong Viet Dung, Head of the Office of the People's Committee of Hanoi, during the press conference on key tasks for 2024 and the community service initiatives for the 2024 Lunar New Year organized by the People's Committee of Hanoi on the afternoon of January 19.
Notably, on Lunar New Year's Eve, Hanoi will orchestrate a light and sound spectacle aiming to establish a Southeast Asian record featuring the participation of 2,024 unmanned aerial vehicles, he added.
