One hundred photos displayed were selected from the Vietnam heritage photo competition with five themes – rivers, nature, daily life, tangible and intangible culture.
According to organisers, the photo contest attracted 5,446 entries from 507 photographers, including 14 foreigners.
Head of the jury Hoang Trung Thuy said the submissions were captured throughout the country, with some of them taken underwater. They carry great artistic values, reflecting broader views of contestants this year, he noted.
The exhibition runs until October 28. Similar events will be held in six other destinations across Vietnam.
The Vietnam heritage photo award ceremony will be held in Ho Chi Minh City on October 23.
The competition, organised annually by Vietnam Heritage Magazine under the Vietnam Cultural Heritage Association, aims to raise public awareness of promoting and preserving cultural and natural heritage.
