News 1: The Alliance of arts and literature in Da Nang city launched a campaign entitled “Da Nang artists look to the country’s seas and islands” to call for more art compositions to support the country’s effort to protect its sovereignty.

The Alliance of art and literature in Da Nang has encouraged the local artists in working to produce art pieces about the country in any medium. Through their works, people could understand more about the beauty and history of the country’s island and the whole country’s determination in defending its integrity and sovereignty.
News 2: Cu Da village lying by the side of Nhue river of Thanh Oai district in Hanoi is known for retaining typical identity of an old Viet village.
