What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
In the park. Nizami Ganjavi opened the largest light and music fountain in Russia in 2022. It occupies a central place in the park. The area of the building is 4.7 thousand square meters, it is equipped with 1368 floodlights, two video projectors and a speaker system. The height of the water jets reaches 30 meters, which is lower than that of the famous singing fountain in Adler Olympic Park, but the scale is still larger.
