Green Heritage Tourism and Culture Week to be held in Ha Noi

The event, co-hosted by the Vietnam Exhibition Centre for Culture and Arts and the Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism of Ha Giang, Dien Bien, Hai Phong, Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa, and Quang Nam, is one of the activities celebrating Vietnam’s Culture Heritage Day, according to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The Green Heritage Cultural and Tourism Week aims to promote and honour natural heritage sites of Vietnam, especially those recognised by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), the ministry said.

It creates a chance for Vietnamese people, especially the youth, to show their responsibility, patriotism and pride for natural heritage sites, thereby, raising public awareness of the need to preserve biodiversity and prevent the impacts of climate change.

The event also offers an opportunity for localities to exchange their experiences in preserving and upholding the values of natural heritage.

Within the framework of the event,  a series of culture activities will be held including a photo exhibition entitled “Vietnam’s Natural Heritage”, with the aim of introducing the natural beauty, biodiversity value, cultural beauty, scenic spots and daily activities of people living in  World Natural Heritage Areas and the National Park Biosphere Reserve.

An exhibition themed "Cultural heritage, tourism and traditional craft villages of Vietnam" will showcase products of 10 outstanding crafts from 24 villages including Bat Trang and Chu Dau pottery, Quat Dong embroidery, Dong Ho folk paintings,  Van Phuc silk, and Hoi An lanterns.
