Contractors at the the APEC Sculpture Park are installing a lighting system and planting trees at the west of the Dragon Bridge. The park which covers more than 3,000 square meters, contains 21 sculptures from the 21 APEC countries. Sculptor Le Lang Luong of Ha Noi Fine Arts University talked about his piece on display at the park: “My piece is shaped like intertwined trees. I used natural, green stones and arranged them like a tree to express unity. I used both rough and smooth stones to symbolize the past, present and future of APEC.”

By hosting APEC Year 2017, Viet Nam hopes to promote its image as a peaceful, stable, and friendly country.
