Amid the bustle on Hang Bac Street, there is a small jewellery workshop owned by artisan Nguyen Chi Thanh, the fifth generation in a family of silversmiths. The rhythmic sound of his hammer on silver sheets is like the heartbeat of Ha Noi itself, preserving a century-old craft legacy.

The 2025 Autumn Fair in Ha Noi has attracted large crowds over one week, with the cinema zone emerging as a major cultural highlight.

In recent years, Viet Nam’s cultural industries have shown strong signs of progress thanks to the active engagement of provinces and cities nationwide.

Party General Secretary To Lam attended a ceremony hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in Ha Noi on August 23 to mark the 80th anniversary of the cultural sector's traditional day (August 28, 1945 – 2025).

A seminar held in the northern province of Ninh Binh on July 29 brought together Vietnamese and Lao experts to exchange experience and strategy on developing heritage-based economies.

In the national strategy for developing cultural industries, Ha Noi has been identified as one of Viet Nam’s three most important cultural industry hubs.
