The second "Green Heritage" Culture and Tourism Week will take place in Hanoi from November 21-23 as one of activities celebrating Vietnam’s Culture Heritage Day, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced on October 26.
The event, themed
"Meeting of humans and nature," is expected to draw the participation
of various localities nationwide, aiming to promote and honour cultural and
natural heritage sites, especially those recognised by UNESCO as world natural
heritage sites.
This is also a chance for the participating provinces and cities to introduce
and promote their cultural, tourism and trade potentials, as well as the
attraction of eco-tourism in the world’s natural heritage sites, while sharing
experiences in preserving natural heritage values.
A range of artistic and cultural activities will be held during the week
including traditional Ca Tru (ceremonial singing), folk songs, Don Ca Tai
Tu (southern amateur singing), and Chau Van (spiritual singing). In addition, a
cultural exchange programme for students and a painting festival for kids will
be also organised.
According to the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, the event is a
social activity, creating a chance for Vietnamese people, especially the youth,
to show their responsibility, patriotism and pride to natural heritage sites.
It will also raise public awareness of preserving biodiversity and natural
environment, and preventing impacts of climate change.
On this occasion, the ministry will also host a week of "Great solidarity
of ethnic groups - Vietnam's cultural heritage" from November 18-23 at the
Vietnam Cultural and Tourism Village in Hanoi's outlying Ba Vi district.
The Green Heritage Culture and Tourism Week was first launched in 2013.

Hoa Binh province has carried out multiple programmes and initiatives to revive its cultural heritage which has gradually fallen into oblivion through the ebbs and flows of history.
The most prominent and defining feature in the prehistoric era of Hoa Binh is the Hoa Binh Culture. The Culture was first discovered in Hoa Binh. The significant prehistoric culture represents not only Vietnam but also Southeast Asia and southern China. Through excavations of cave sites in the limestone regions of Hoa Binh, French archaeologist M. Colani introduced the world to a "Stone Age in Hoa Binh province – Northern Vietnam" in 1927. On January 30, 1932, the First Congress of Far Eastern Prehistorians, held in Hanoi, officially recognised the Hoa Binh Culture.
Known as the "Land of Epic History”, Hoa Binh province, the gateway to Vietnam’s northwest, boasts a strategic location and a unique cultural tapestry woven by its ethnic minority communities.
The People's Committee of Luong Son District recently held a ceremony to receive the certificate recognizing Sau Communal House in Thanh Cao Commune as a provincial-level historical and cultural site.
Recognising the importance of cultural heritage preservation in protecting and promoting the value system of Vietnamese culture, and serving socio-economic development in the new period, Party committees and local administrations in Hoa Binh province have identified it as a key task in the cultural development strategy. The province has been making efforts in mobilising resources, creating consensus among people and engaging ethnic communities in preserving and promoting cultural identity.
Hoa Binh province has captured growing attention both domestically and internationally for its distinctive cultural heritage and rich history. Most notably, it has been renowned for its famous Hoa Binh culture, considered the cradle of ancient Vietnamese civilisation. Looking ahead to significant milestones in 2025 and the 140th anniversary of province establishment in 2026, Hoa Binh Newspaper presents a comprehensive overview of the province's development across economic, social, cultural, tourism, and security domains.
