The highlight of the event will be a fireworks display held at 30 locations across the capital from 9 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. on October 10 to mark its 70th Liberation Day.

As usual, five locations will feature high-range firework shows such as Hoan Kiem Lake, Thong Nhat Park, West Lake, Van Quan Lake, and the My Dinh National Stadium.

Low-range pyrotechnic performances boasting gorgeous effects and colours will also be let off in both inner and outlying districts of Hanoi.

Furthermore, the administration of the capital will also organise 20 outstanding events. Film weeks in September and October and photo exhibitions with the theme of Capital Liberation Day are expected to provide tourists with a comprehensive view of the city.

A singing contest and sporting activities to mark the 25th anniversary of Hanoi being recognised as a City for Peace by UNESCO will also get underway.
