Approaches to heritage

With more than 4,000 years of civilisation, Viet Nam possesses a rich treasury of heritage, from historical sites to intangible cultural values. These are invaluable assets of Vietnamese ethnic minority communities, part of the cultural heritage of humanity, which contribute to positioning Viet Nam’s cultural identity and brand on the international stage.

However, Mo Muong is facing many challenges in preservation and promotion of its values.
