VR exhibition showcases beauty of Vietnam's border regions

ABO/NDO - A virtual reality exhibition opened on March 31 to showcase the best works from a photography contest on Vietnam’s sovereignty and the beauty of its border regions.

The contest, launched for the first time in 2020, drew the participation of about 7,000 entries from 745 photographers from all of the country’s 63 provinces and centrally-governed cities, reflecting the public’s deep interest in the topic.

Following the success of the contest, the Central Commission for Communication and Education created bilingual and online pictorials as well as holding exhibitions throughout the country to foster the love for the country and pride in national territorial integrity.
