This information was released at a press conference held in Hanoi on December 8.
Upon addressing the event, Nguyen Manh Cuong, director of the Department of Culture and Sports of Ninh Binh province, stressed that this is a national cultural and tourism event which aims to promote cultural exchange activities and honour cultural heritages as well as accelerating tourism development in the locality.

Most notably, the opening programme will see the first real-life performance held in the magical space of cultural heritage Trang An scenic complex, which will be reflected through lighting and projection mapping technology, contemporary dance art, calligraphy with dance art to help visitors learn more about the history and culture of the ancient capital of Hoa Lu - Ninh Binh, and the quintessence of cultural colours of various localities from across the country.
Leaders of the Ninh Binh Department of Culture and Information emphasised that this is one of the activities being held in a bid to turn Ninh Binh into a major cultural hub and an ideal venue in which to organise international and national events in the near future.
