Speaking at the event, Poet Huu Thinh, President of the Viet Nam Writers’ Association, said that over the past 10 years, the Vietnamese Poetry Day has attracted a large number of participants with higher quality works.

The presence of foreign poets at this event shows that poetry links people, communities and countries throughout the world, he said.

The event opened with President Ho Chi Minh’s poem “Nguyen Tieu” (the fifth day of the first lunar month) recited by meritorious artist Ha Vi and accompanied by 16-chord zither artist Ho Thi Thanh Huong.

Vietnamese poetry lovers had a chance to enjoy interesting poems written by foreign poets. In addition, troupes from the northern and central regions brought to the Poetry Day special items reflecting their cultural beauties and customs.

During the event, tens of poetry clubs in Hanoi and neighbouring provinces set up camps to introduce their poems and exchange with visitors.

Life Heritage Resort Ha Long Bay, the four-star resort, which celebrated its grand opening on Nov. 4, 2011, is a collaborative venture between the owners of Life Resorts Vietnam and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs through its Private Sector Investment Programme (PSI).

Established to provide financial support to groundbreaking investment projects in emerging markets, the PSI currently sponsors the progress of numerous small business and rural enterprises around the globe.

“Our main goal in joining resources with Life Resort Ha Long Bay is to have a positive impact on sustainable economic development by offering job opportunities and valuable training that we hope will translate into higher incomes for the local people,” said Mrs. Saskia Jongma, member of the board of NL EVD International, which is implementing the PSI.

Life Heritage Resort Ha Long Bay marks the PSI’s first major cooperative project in Vietnam, as well as its first foray into assisting the country’s tourism industry.

Following more than half a year of on-the-job staff training, Life Heritage Resort Ha Long Bay sailed the first of its fleet on overnight cruises last October.

Held in Vu Ban district in the northern province of Nam Dinh, the market is open throughout the year, but it is the busiest on first days of Tet.

Legend has it that Vieng market is linked to Nguyen Minh Khong, the person who introduced copper casting to the area, so people believe it is good luck to buy something made of copper at Vieng market on the day of the festival.

All kinds of goods are bought and sold but people come to the market not only to buy things, but also to wish for a prosperous and lucky new year.

The spring market features handicrafts, antiques, both genuine and fake, household utensils, agricultural tools, and many kinds of ornamental plants. Special foods sold at the market include barbecued beef and banh giay (sticky rice cakes).

The most popular thing to buy is the roasted veal, which is considered the essential gift from Vieng market, no matter how high the prices, and brings bliss to market-goers.

The least expensive things on offer at Vieng market are flowers and plants, which are supposed to bring both the buyer and seller happiness and luck. Deals begin taking place by candlelight or flashlights beginning around 2am.

Sales must be agreed quickly in order to retain the luck. Early in the morning, local people start bringing in farming tools, such as hoes and sickles related directly to their daily lives, to offer them for sale. Buyers believe these tools will bring them good health and wealth.

Vieng market also is also a place to relax and meet people. Perhaps lovers will find each other here and gain good luck for a happy future.
