Stone paintings by artisans Do Van Bi and Nguyen Tung Lam were awarded
second prizes by Ha Long Bay Management Board in a souvenir design
contest.
No first prizes were awarded in the contest held
to mark the 20th anniversary of the natural wonder’s recognition as a
World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
The works by Bi and Lam
not only portray the typical beauty of Ha Long Bay but also highlight
the development and tourism potential of the northern coastal
province of Quang Ninh.
Two works by Le Quang Cuong and Nghiem Vinh won third prizes in the contest.
Organisers received about 40 entries from 17 individuals and firms. The
award-winning products will be used to make and market souvenirs to
tourists.-VNA
