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.

Phong Phu commune, Tan Lac district of Hoa Binh province, is widely regarded as the cultural heartland of the Muong ethnic group. Among its many traditional communities, Luy Ai hamlet (formerly Ai hamlet) stands out as a rare location where the customs and way of life of the Muong Bi people remain largely intact.
The Truong Kha temple festival, a distinctive cultural event held every three years in Vu Ban township, Lac Son district, returned recently with vibrant rituals and folk traditions of the Muong people. Located next to the Buoi River in the Muong Trao fields, the Truong Kha Temple is dedicated to the three Kun Dol deities, revered for teaching farming techniques, irrigation, weaving, and protecting the harvest.
The demand for spaces serving community activities of residents in various areas across Hoa Binh city has been satisfied as local cultural houses now feature modern, spacious facilities thanks to the effective implementation of Resolution No. 49/NQ-HDND issued on December 28, 2021 by the city People's Council, which approved the plan for reorganising, converting, and allocating land for the construction, repair, and expansion of cultural houses in Hoa Binh’s villages and residential areas until 2025.
At the end of May, the Hoa Binh Provincial Ethnic Arts Troupe organized a series of performances for residents in Region 2 and Region 3 communes across the province. Bringing art to ethnic communities in remote, isolated, and especially disadvantaged areas has become a meaningful activity. These are not merely artistic performances but also journeys to disseminate cultural values, enrich spiritual life, and contribute to preserving the cultural identity of ethnic minorities.
