The exhibition features rich and diverse activities combining display, performance, and cultural exchange. Highlights include a showcase of 300 artistic photographs, artefacts, and documents on Viet Nam’s heritage and scenic landmarks, and a special section honouring President Ho Chi Minh’s contributions to cultural preservation.
The photo exhibition “Viet Nam – The land of heritage” and the thematic space “Colours of Vietnamese intangible cultural heritage” introduce iconic heritage forms such as Quan ho (love duet) singing, Hue royal court music, and the Central Highlands gong cultural space.
A culinary heritage space spotlights Ha Noi pho, a national intangible cultural treasure, while displays on calligraphy and Ao Dai present the connection between tradition and modernity.
Visitors can experience the art exhibition “Ceramics and Tea” and learn about Quang An lotus-scented tea, explore OCOP handicrafts, rural tourism models, and sustainable tourism products.
Provincial displays feature UNESCO-recognised heritages such as Ha Long Bay and Cat Ba Archipelago, alongside traditional crafts and regional delicacies.
Throughout four days, art programmes and folk performances will celebrate Vietnamese cultural heritage, culminating in the “Honouring Vietnamese Ao Dai – Journey of heritage beauty” parade — a vibrant highlight that embodies the nation’s cultural pride.
The event is organised by the Viet Nam Exhibition Centre for Culture and Arts (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) in collaboration with the Hai Phong City People’s Committee and Departments of Culture and Sports of several provinces including Dien Bien, Phu Tho, Quang Ninh, Ninh Binh, Hue and Da Nang.
