Visitors can experience the essence of eleven significant tangible and intangible World Heritage Sites in Vietnam. These include the Hue Imperial Citadel, Ha Long Bay, My Son Sanctuary, Hoi An Ancient Town, the Thang Long Imperial Citadel, Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, the Central Highlands Cultural Space, Hue Royal Court Music, Ca Tru, Quan Ho Bac Ninh, and the Giong Festival.
