Update: Nov 23, 2018
As many as 13 national special heritages were introduced to the public for the first time in an exhibition held on November 22 in the Ha Noi Museum on the occasion of the Viet Nam Cultural Heritage Day (November 23).  

The exhibition highlighted 100 documents, items, and images of the 13 heritages in Ha Noi. It aimed to give visitors a better understanding of the value in the architecture, culture, history, and archeology of each heritage site, thus raising public awareness of their conservation. 

A number of other activities were also organised to mark the Viet Nam Cultural Heritage Day, including folk art performances, exhibitions, and games.

The same day, the Ha Noi Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism held a meeting with people engaging in heritage preservation in the capital city, as well as experts in culture and heritage to call for their close coordination in the management, preservation, and promotion of the heritages’ values.

According to the department, Ha Noi is home to some 6,000 relic sites and 1,700 intangible heritages.
