A series of cultural activities to mark the Vietnam
Cultural Heritage Day (November 23) began last week at ancient sites in
the Old Quarter and downtown HCM City.
A four-day carnival of cultural activities will dot
the streets of Ha Noi''s Old Quarter to celebrate Viet Nam''s Heritage
Day, officially on November 23.
Stepping into the cool atmosphere of Kim Ngan Temple
on Hang Bac Street, Gemma Bone, a tourist from England, was amazed by
an installation of various hats made of dried leaves that covered the
front yard and gate.
Tourists and the general public will be admitted
free to many cultural activities in the Old Quarter to promote a
festival entitled Traditional Handicraft with Contemporary Arts.
