Hello everyone! How are you today? I hope you have a wonderful weekend. The epidemic situation in winter is becoming very complicated, I hope everyone takes care of their health during this time. On weekends, I love to go out and take pictures in a certain location. For me photography is like a breath of life, it helps me capture beautiful memories, through my eyes. This Sunday I just had a walk outside. I went to a newly built site, inaugurated in the last few days of Da Nang city. This place is named APEC statue garden park. This place is located in the heart of the city center, next to the Han River of Da Nang city
Previously, the APEC statue garden park was built in 2017, the highlight here is that there are 21 statues of economies participating in APEC. Each statue represents each country. By 2021, the APEC statue garden park will be built to expand an area as a highlight for the park here. This is an expanded construction of the APEC statue garden park, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Da Nang city directly under the central government. The expanded APEC Statue Garden Park is working with extremely unique and impressive architecture. From the idea of "Da Nang - The kite flies high", this place is designed with white domes, like birds flying in the sky. This construction project is built with 200 tons of steel. If the APEC statue garden park was built with 21 statues of 21 economies in the world, then the expanded APEC statue garden park was built with a meaning like a kite flying high, bringing Da Nang as a leading bird to bring the central region of Vietnam to develop and integrate with the world. The kite is also a symbol of freedom, reminiscent of childhood memories. Containing dreams, ambitions, and flying high like kites.
In today's post, I will introduce to you the APEC statue garden park. The current APEC Park has been built in two different areas, on a triangular plot of land. One area is a statue garden with 21 statues of 21 countries, the second area is a high-flying kite, inaugurated in the early days of 2022 in Da Nang city. The location of APEC park is located to the west of Da Nang Dragon Bridge, this is considered the center of the city. The location of the park carries important meaning for tourism in Da Nang city, as it is located next to the poetic Han River and is close to the Cham-Pa sculpture museum. Due to the newly inaugurated area of the park, so many city people come to visit and take pictures here. The area below the lobby is planted with a lot of trees, according to the plan of this project, there are 2 floors. The first floor is an area to arrange a rest space, a souvenir sales service area, a tourist information area to serve visitors.
The 2nd floor is the community living space, the way to the area is built with many stairs to go up to the community space. On the second floor is planted a lot of natural smooth green grass. Standing from two looking down below, there are many lakes with artificial fountains, serving nightly water music performances at this place. The main area of the 2nd floor will be the kite-shaped dome, this is the most beautiful area in this place. The iron bars are designed to bend scientifically, the kite project is built with nearly 200 tons of steel. The iron frame of the kite is painted white, with small holes on the top of the building, when the sun shines down, the light rays are reflected on the ground, which is very impressive. I shot around these domes, with different angles. The main highlight is the curved arches of iron bars, creating a feeling of being covered by a large net. At night, this place will be more beautiful than during the day, from 19:00 to 21:00 every night, this place will be illuminated, the colors of the lights will make this place more brilliant than ever.

After visiting the second-floor area, I walked to the APEC statue garden. This is the site of the first construction of this park. In 2017 when the APEC meeting was held in Vietnam, with the presence of 21 world economies. Da Nang is honored to be the host for this APEC summit. APEC Park is a gift from Vietnam to the delegates, economies, and people of Da Nang. APEC Park was originally built on a plot of 3000m2 at the corner of September 2nd with Bach Dang street (Binh Hien Ward, Hai Chau district). Currently, if calculating the expanded area, APEC park has more than 7000m2 on a triangular piece of land, west of the dragon bridge. At this park, there are 21 works of art, sent from many countries around the world. Each work has a different sculptural style. But most of the themes of the works, there is a goal towards the solidarity and cooperation of each country.

Australia brings a work called "Meeting place", where there are many works by many members of the APEC economy. The selected works are of artistic nature as well as the message sent to the APEC conference. APEC Park has added to the cultural space of Da Nang city. Later, this place will be the first pedestrian street of Da Nang. Special street festivals will be held on Bach Dang street, by the romantic Han River. This area is also located very close to the Cham-Pa museum. If the Cham-Pa sculpture museum was built in 1919, it is a place to keep and preserve the sculptures of the Cham-Pa people. Then the APEC statue garden park will be the place to store modern works of the 21st century. This place will be a place to record historical imprints later.
