An exhibition of historical documents and objects related to the Politburo conference from December 18, 1974 – January 1, 1975 that sought to liberate the South and reunify the country in the war against the US, opened in the Thang Long Royal Citadel in Hanoi on August 30.
As part of activities to mark the 70 th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day, the event was hosted by the Centre for the Preservation of Thang Long-Hanoi Cultural Heritage .
On the occasion, the centre also arranged a photo exhibition spotlighting the value of world cultural and natural heritage in Vietnam and intangible cultural values of Hanoi such as C, Giong Festival and tombstones in Van Mieu (the Temple of Literature) and Quoc Tu Giam (Vietnam’s first national university).
The exhibition is within the framework of the Heritage Photo Tour 2015, which began in June this year with the aim to promote world heritage sites in Vietnam.
The two events offer visitors a good chance to learn about the country’s cultural values as well as spiritual and historical stories.

A highlight of the many cultural activities held on National Day, September 2, will be the national concert Dieu Con Mai (Remaining with Time), which features well-known revolutionary songs.
For the first time, Vietnamese audiences will have the opportunity to experience the ballet masterpiece "Don Quixote" in its original version by renowned choreographer Marius Petipa.
The contest carried deep meaning as it was the first time the life of Vietnamese women abroad had been highlighted as the central theme, said poet and writer Nguyen Quang Thieu, Chairman of the Vietnam Writers’ Association.
The event formed part of Vietnam’s ongoing campaign to seek UNESCO World Heritage status for the complex at the 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, scheduled to take place in Paris in July.
