Literature in Hanoi, Ha Long Bay in northern Quang Ninh province, Hue

Academy of Vietnam to discuss cultural preservation among overseas
Vietnamese and the significance of seeking global recognition for
Vietnamese tangible and intangible heritages.
The youngsters are scheduled to participate in charitable activities
such as visiting and presenting gifts to Vietnamese heroic mothers in
Thua Thien – Hue province, building book shelves for street children and
growing trees at the coastal areas in Da Nang city.
