The 15th edition of “My Hanoi” photo exhibition themed “Being Proud of Thang Long – Hanoi” kocked off Thursday at the Temple of Literature to mark the 1010th anniversary of Thang Long – Hanoi, the 66th anniversary of the capital city’s Liberation Day and welcome the 17th city Party Congress.
The exhibition, co-hosted by Kinh te & Do thi newspaper, the Hanoi Elderly Photographers Club and Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam Center of Scientific and Cultural Activities, showcases 70 candid and lively photos featuring portraits, street life and landscape of Hanoi.
