"The weather in Saigon was quite hot today. So our family decided to come to the Saigon River to watch the fireworks and get some fresh air," the husband said.

The fireworks were shot from the Landmark 81.

Many residents took photos or recorded videos of the firework displays that lasted 15 minutes.
