The Hanoi Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism has implemented anumber of projects to preserve the city’s intangible cultural heritages,including a project carried out from 2014-2015 to review the city’sintangible cultural heritages and apply effective conservationmethods.
The sector will continue working toprotect intangible cultural heritages fading into obscurity and those inurgent need of preserving.
According to PhamThi Lan Anh, an official from the Department, the sector will focus onprotecting the Trong quan singing in Phuc Lam village, Phuc Tiencommune, Phu Xuyen district and Khanh Ha commune in Thuong Tien districtby recording its lyrics and tunes this year.
