Hanoi welcomed about 4.45 million foreign tourists in the first nine months of this year, soaring 40.8% year-on-year and nearly fulfilling its yearly target of serving 5 million international visitors, according to the city Department Tourism.
The goldsmithing and silver jewelry craft in Dinh Cong Ward (Hanoi) traces its origins back to the 7th century. Products from this craft village have gained fame throughout the ancient capital, with numerous artisans commissioned to work for the imperial court. The silver jewelry craft thrived and became one of the four most distinguished trades in the Thang Long citadel.
On the morning of October 10, the national celebration for the 70th anniversary of the Hanoi Liberation took place at the National Conference Centre. General Secretary and President To Lam, along with National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man and various leaders and former leaders of the Party and State, attended the event.
After five years of joining the “UNESCO Creative Cities Network” under the category of design, Hanoi has organised numerous activities related to creative design, attracting a large number of organisations and individuals both at home and abroad.
