On Sunday, a total of over 400 volunteers from Da Nang’s Green Son Tra Peninsula Voluntary Organisation and the city’s branch of Let’s Do It Viet Nam were involved in cleaning up some tourist areas on the Son Tra Peninsula.

The event was in response to the city’s ‘Year for Culture and Urban Civilisation 2015’ programme and its ‘Green, Clean and Beautiful Sunday’ campaign.  The intention was to combine their efforts to ensure the biodiversity of the peninsula.

The volunteers were divided into 10 teams, and they collected rubbish and tidied up rockfalls alongside a total of 50km of roads near the Green Lake, Linh Ung Pagoda, the1000-year-old banyan tree, the Forest Ranger Division, the Ban Co (Chess Board) Peak, the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, the Tien Sa Port and the Ho Sau (Deep Hole). 

The day's activities aimed at raising awareness among visitors to the Peninsula, and the area’s households and businesses, about not discarding rubbish in the area in order to ensure its natural environmental sanitation.
