The Hai Au Club, for female photographers only, has sponsored long-distance trips to Hanoi for its members to create photographic works.

The artists spent hours exploring streets and villages of Hanoi to experience local life and capture beautiful images that epitomize the culture of the capital city.

Hanoi has been modernized but retains the charms of its Old Quarter, traditional craft villages and ancient pagodas.

Artist Dao Hoa Nu, head of the club, says that Hai Au has selected the best shots for a book to be published on the occasion of the club’s 20^th birthday.
