Heritage Boulevard offers different views on Vietnamese cultural heritage

Heritage Boulevard is a completely new artistic program, produced by the Youth Program Department of Vietnam Television. Through the program, the audience will have the opportunity to visit (through the screen) many tangible and intangible cultural heritages of Vietnam as well as the world. The program is expected to be held annually, with the participation of major domestic and international art troupes.

Cultural heritages  express the soul of a people. Each legacy is associated with the history and culture of a nation. Protecting the heritage is protecting  national culture.

In 2019, the first digital Heritage Boulevard is be part of the program of the United Nations Day of Vesak (Buddha's Birthday) Celebrations at the Tam Chuc touristic area in Ha Nam province.

In part 2, titled Heritage Boulevard, the audience will learn the stories about the heritages of Vietnam and those of some countries in the world.

Besides Vietnamese artists, the program also features the participation of many international art troupes from India, Bhutan and Indonesia.
