Binh Dinh to set off high-altitude fireworks for first time

Binh Dinh Province in south-central Vietnam will entertain locals and visitors to a high-altitude fireworks display which will be held for the first time in the province on June 8.

The fireworks will light up the sky over Quy Nhon, the capital city of the province.

The pyrotechnic show, part of the opening night of a festival titled ‘Quy Nhon - Sea Paradise - Brightness for Growth,’ will last up to 15 minutes, said an official of the provincial People’s Committee on Tuesday afternoon.
