QUANG NINH (VNS)— Foreign tourists in Quang Ninh have been enjoying free art shows featuring Vietnamese musical instruments.

Hosted by the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the shows feature monochord, dan da (stone xylophone) performances, and ritual dances.

The nightly one-hour show attracts about 200 people, mostly South Korean, Chinese and Japanese.

It is being held at the Viet Nam-Japan Cultural Palace until August 15. Tickets for the show will then go on sale.

The culture department also plans to hold several outdoor sport games, calligraphy demonstrations, and displays of Vietnamese traditional music instruments. — VNS
