Termites are threatening many relics in the old quarter of Hoi An ancient town, a UNESCO-recognised world heritage, local authorities and residents have reported.

Authorities of the central Hue city have announced plans to evacuate 4,200 families out of the citadel walls and buildings in an attempt to stop illegal lodging on relics.

Thousands of residents living next to or in proximity to historic relics in Hanoi are waiting for relocation following plans to restore the sites.

The first official tour to Con Co Island in the central province of Quang Tri will be launched on April 17 by local authorities and the Quang Tri Trading Corporation.
