The work "Tea Island" by author Nguyen Canh Hung.

Sharing with us, author Nguyen Canh Hung said that his greatest joy when participating in this year's season is to contribute to putting Nghe An's tea island on the Vietnamese tourism map. That is the basis for many people to know Nghe An, a land that is not only sunny and windy, but also very beautiful and poetic.

The 8th National Tourism Art Photography Contest with the theme “I Love Vietnam” was organized by the General Department of Tourism and assigned to the Tourism Magazine, with the coordination and sponsorship of the Vietnam Association of Photographic Artists. The contest took place from January to June 2018; it is one of the meaningful activities towards the 58th anniversary of the establishment of the Vietnam Tourism Industry (July 9, 1960 - July 9, 2018).
