These cultural and tourism activities, along with showcasing local products and traditional crafts, will provide attractions for visitors during the festival.

The event aims to provide an international scientific forum for further research, exchanges and discussions on authenticity in world heritage conservation, in close connection with the outstanding universal value, integrity and cultural values of heritage elements.

The beach city’s tourism industry has been speeding up promotion programmes for the Japanese market, as a record of 225,000 Japanese tourists visited Đà Nẵng in the first half of 2026.

A highlight of this year’s autumn-winter tourism season is the Yên Tử festival 2026, featuring a wide range of events such as Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations, a Chinese chess tournament, the Yên Tử Heritage Marathon and the Yên Tử Ultra Trail race.

As part of the festival’s international space, the display booth of Nhân Dân newspaper, the official organ of the Communist Party of Việt Nam, once again served as a meeting point between Việt Nam and the French public as well as international friends. This year’s exhibition highlighted Việt Nam’s struggle for independence, national construction and defence, international solidarity with Việt Nam, and the country’s achievements after nearly 40 years of Đổi mới (Renewal), while showcasing its development vision towards 2045.

The move is part of Hà Nội’s efforts to turn the goals of Resolution 57-NQ/TW on science, technology, innovation and digital transformation into specific projects at the local level.

The digital facilities were installed within 15 days, with about VNĐ800 million (US$30,400) mobilised from social sources.

The competition aims to encourage creativity and artistic talents while fostering love for Việt Nam and Hà Nội and promoting appreciation of peace.

The programme conveys a message that heritage is not only something to preserve and look back on, but also a source of inspiration for creating new values.
