Australia presened introductory panels for the Thang Long-Hanoi Imperial Citadel

(VNF) - Fourteen introductory panels about the Thang Long-Hanoi Imperial Citadel were presented to Hanoi authority on January 18th by Australian Ambassador to Vietnam Mr Hugh Borrowman.

Funded by the Australian Government, the panels were produced following consultations and preparations between Australian and Vietnamese experts/officials.

These world class bilingual panels explain key parts of the World Heritage-listed Thang Long Citadel to both foreign and local visitors, increasing awareness and understanding of this remarkable historical and cultural relic.

The Thang Long Citadel, now over 1,000 years old, is a significant historic and tourist site in the nation.

Australian heritage expert Professor William Logan worked closely with the Co Loa Ancient Citadel Preservation Center to develop the content and images for the panels which were manufactured in Australia.

The collaboration project is designed to support tourism development in Vietnam through developing informative and accessible content for visitors, as well as assisting in institutional capacity building in the historical/tourism sector./.
