At the camp, the Nghe An Buddhist youth group designed a beautiful camp space, made entirely from natural materials (bamboo) with many prominent local elements, images and symbols, in which the camp gate simulated the image of Vinh citadel gate.
In addition, the delegation also brought to the Camp two special performances: the drum performance of the rice land of Yen Thanh and the dance performance "Bright Vietnamese Buddhism". With careful and meticulous preparation, the Nghe An Buddhist Youth Delegation hopes to add new and meaningful colors to the Camp.
