Recreational places at night
Nha Trang is one of the favorite tourist attractions in Khanh Hoa and the country; therefore, it is necessary to organize activities and events to attract tourists to the city. However, in Nha Trang, currently, besides 2-4 Square and the city Conference Center (46 Tran Phu Street), there are few places of amusement and night recreational activities for local people and tourists. The two aforementioned places are the venues for Nha Trang Sea Festival, music and art programs held on the occasions of festivals, ceremonies, and Tet, etc. Apart from these occasions, these two places are just served as the venues for some night street art programs such as Tuong and folk song programs of the provincial Traditional Art Theater (three programs per week) and Bai Choi game of the provincial Center of Culture and Cinema (on weekends). These activities end at 8:30 pm.
In order to improve and diversify the services to serve the demand for entertainment of both local people and tourists, the provincial Department of Culture and Sports proposed the provincial People’s Committee set up an investment project on an art lighting and sound system at the provincial Conference Center and some areas in Nha Trang City. The committee has approved the proposal and directed the related units to carry out researches and make an investment plan in accordance with regulations.
More places of amusement
The art lighting and sound system is planned to be installed at the provincial Conference Center; Salanganes Nest Park; Yen Phi Park; coastal parks opposite Tue Tinh Street and Le Thanh Ton Street; and the park near 2-4 Square. At the provincial Conference Center, a 30-minute 3D projection mapping about the history and culture of Nha Trang – Khanh Hoa will be showed at 8:30 pm every Saturday and Sunday. From Monday to Friday nights, besides usual street art shows, this place will also be illuminated with art lighting.
Among the other aforementioned places, Salanganes Nest Park, Yen Phi Park and the coastal parks opposite Tue Tinh Street will be installed art lighting and sound system first, followed by the coastal parks opposite Le Thanh Ton Street and the park near 2-4 Square. Apart from being installed art lighting and sound system, these places will also be designed and embellished on a basis that does not change the landscape and the existing works. Art lighting and sound performances will take place from 9pm to 11pm every day.
3D projection mapping has been carried out in some places and events in Vietnam and aroused interest of the public, including the Reunification Palace (Ho Chi Minh City), Tata Show in VinWonders Nha Trang, and Nha Trang Sea Festival 2015. The places which will be designed, embellished and installed modern art lighting and sound system to present the images of Khanh Hoa’s nature and people will help to beautify Nha Trang more, especially at night.
