Notably, on display are 20 photos that feature all natural heritage sites in Vietnam, as well as those that introduce the stunning natural beauty and biodiversity value of the country.

The exhibition themed “Meeting of humans and nature” is expected to promote the potential and attractiveness of ecotourism at world natural heritage sites, biosphere reserves, and national parks across the country.

The event offers Vietnamese people, especially the young, the chance to heighten their responsibility, patriotism, and pride for natural heritage sites, contributing to raising public awareness of the need to preserve biodiversity and prevent the negative impact of climate change.

A range of cultural activities will be held during the five-day event, including a programme which honors local artisans and Vietnamese traditional craft villages, calligraphy arts, and tea culture.
