By embracing creative presentation approaches, traditional arts are opening up distinctive experiences for both the public and visitors.

Ha Noi is showcasing its culinary culture and traditional arts at a cultural space organised as part of the 2026 ASEAN City Leaders Conference (ACLC), offering international delegates a glimpse into the capital’s rich cultural identity.

The popularisation of lacquer art is finding new approaches, making it more interactive and appealing to younger generations. Nhan Dan reporter Thuy Phuong spoke with Meritorious Artisan painter Nguyen Tan Phat, who has been steadily bringing lacquer closer to the public through free experiential workshops at Ha Vi Communal Temple and Duong Lam Ancient Village in Ha Noi.

At the recent workshop on reviewing the movement and development of Vietnamese literature and arts over 50 years after national reunification, artists and researchers emphasised the role of traditional arts in political and diplomatic events.
