 09:28 16/12/2025

In the closing months of the year, Hội An once again became a focal point for visitors and cultural professionals from Vietnam and abroad, as a series of commemorative activities marking Vietnam Cultural Heritage Day (23 November), the 26th anniversary of Hội An Ancient Town’s inscription as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site (1999 - 2025), and the 8th anniversary of the Art of Central Vietnamese Bài Chòi being inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (2017 - 2025) were held successfully and with strong public engagement. Beyond their commemorative significance, this year’s program highlighted Hội An’s creative approach to heritage, where cultural legacy is not only preserved but actively revitalized as a living resource that inspires contemporary expression and community participation.
