The light show is one of the highlights of the Vietnam-Japan Festival commemorating the 50th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic ties.
The place was packed with visitors on the opening day, March 15. The lights are arranged to allow visitors to easily move around and admire them.
There installation has two themes: the classic Vietnamese image of fresh lotus blossoms on water and a garden of sakura, Japan's national flower.
The display spans around 1,000 square meters, and drew crowds of locals and visitors who came to take pictures.
Tran Ngan was passing by when she was attracted by the lights, and went with her daughter to check them out. "The lights create a beautiful color effect," the 29-year-old said.
As the night went by more and more people poured in, and security guards constantly had to remind them not to step on the lights.
