Culture week kicks off in Quang NinhThe annual Culture and Sports Week for ethnic groups, a platform for connecting different ethnic communities in the region, kicked off on Thursday in Tien Yen District, Quang Ninh Province. The festival will also include an exhibition showcasing the paintings, logos and photographs of Quang Ninh and a booth introducing tourist destinations in Tien Yen. On this occasion, Quang Ninh has also launched a Culture and Sports Centre for its ethnic groups. The VNĐ200 billion (US$8.8 million) centre, where most of the Culture Week events are being held, can accommodate over 1,000 seats. Tien Yen is often referred to as the second Hoi An because of its numerous French- and Chinese-style architectural structures built in the early 20th century.
