Hanoi (VNA) - A light show, featuring an impressive 2,025 drones, is scheduled to take place on January 18 at West Lake in Hanoi, as announced by local authorities on January 6.

The public will be able to enjoy the show at 20:00 p.m. at the Nguyen Hoang Ton - Lac Long Quan intersection by the side of West Lake, Radio the Voice of Vietnam (VOV) cited the source.

The drones will be accompanied with symphony music by an international-standard orchestra and will form different images highlighting the capital’s attractive destinations.

Most notably, new generation drones forming a giant dragon are expected to create a spectacular live drone performance in the skies over Hanoi.

The show will feature a number of famous artists, such as People's Artist Thanh Hoa, My Tam, Ha Le, BigDaddy, Trong Hieu, Kieu Anh, and Do Hoang Hiep.

In 2024, Hanoi hosted a spectacular drone light show with 2,024 drones on the eve of the Lunar New Year, ushering in the Year of the Dragon./.
