Hanoi opens two exhibitions to celebrate the National Day

The Centre for the Preservation of Thang Long-Hanoi Cultural Heritage opened two exhibitions to mark the 70th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day in the Thang Long Royal Citadel on August 30.

As part of activities to mark the 70th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day, the events were hosted by the Centre for the Preservation of Thang Long-Hanoi Cultural Heritage.
The two events make a good chance for visitors to learn about the country’s cultural values as well as spiritual and historical stories.
