Seven cultural events of the 1000th Thang Long-Hanoi anniversary will be organised at the residence of famous painter Thanh Chuong in Soc Son district, Hanoi, in 2010.

Pham Quang Nghi, Politburo member and Party Chief of Hanoi, and Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism officials on June 8 paid a visit to the residence of Thanh Chuong, which is known as Viet Phu Thanh Chuong. This was a field trip to prepare for the 1000^th Thang Long-Hanoi grand ceremony in 2010.

Nghi said that Viet Phu Thanh Chuong is an outstanding model of cultural socialisation. The owner of the site is an artist who has a passion for preserving and honouring Vietnamese traditional culture. The site will be a key point in the 1000^th Thang Long-Hanoi anniversary.

Painter Thanh Chuong began the construction of his residence in October 2001 to gather and preserve the cream of architecture, sculpture, and application arts of ancient Vietnamese and to display his own large-sized paintings.

So far, over 20 works have been completed on 10,000 sq.m. The site has become a popular destination of tourists visiting Hanoi.

Viet Phu Thanh Chuong will host seven cultural-art events from July to October 2010 to celebrate the 1000^th Thang Long-Hanoi anniversary.
