In mid-October, over 300 Youth Union members and young people in Ngu Hanh Son District participated in the large-scale game journey "Coming to the red address - Discovering cultural heritage".

Accordingly, the participants got involved in deciphering secret letters, transmitting messages, and teambuilding activities.

In addition, the contest to make video introducing red addresses in the locality on social network sites received many interactions and spread widely in the community. Youth Union members and young people explored such famous red addresses as K20 Revolutionary Base, the Marble Mountains, and the Traditional House of Zone III. Also, they had the opportunity to practice life and communications skills, teamwork spirit, and in-demand skills for handling critical situations.

In particular, at station 1, the programme uniquely recreated the space of ‘Bai Choi’ cultural art, helping Youth Union members and young people experience and better understand the history and characteristics of this popular folklore style of singing in central Viet Nam.

Mai Thi Thanh Thao from Hoa Quy Ward said “This journey is very memorable and interesting. I am impressed with the ‘Bai Choi’ exchange activities and the visit to the Am Phu Cave. Through each destination, I can learn about the traditional culture and history of the nation”.

Mr. Le Xuan Thanh, Secretary of Ngu Hanh Son District-based Youth Union organisation, said that this is the first time the scale of the game journey "Coming to the red address - Discovering Cultural Heritage" has been expanded, creating a strong impression on young people. In the coming time, the Youth Union organisation will establish propaganda teams at red addresses in the district, with a focus on supporting and guiding people to scan QR codes, find information, and organise regular activities at red addresses.

Also at the same time, the Youth Union organisation of Hoa Hiep Nam Ward, Lien Chieu District, launched the project of digitising red addresses and historical relics. They are the Am Linh Palace, Whale Tomb, Nam O Village Communal House, Nam O Cemetery, Lieu Hanh Lady Temple, Bo Bo Lady Temple, and Lang Well. The ward People's Committee coordinated with the ward’s Youth Union to collect information, documents, and images integrated explanations, and install QR codes at each relic.

Previously, the Youth Union organisation of Lien Chieu District partnered with the FPT Polytechnic College Da Nang to organise a water puppetry show for more than 500 local people and tourists.

Inspired by the traditional Apsara dance of the Cham people, the show attracted 40 young people to participate.

Additionally, the Youth Union organisation of Lien Chieu District organised a big game journey "I love my Fatherland" with the theme "Following the footsteps of heroes". Youth Union members and young people explored and learned more about the historical and cultural values ​​of the district.

Nguyen Thanh Lam residing in Hoa Khanh Nam Ward said "I heard heroic stories about the resilience and indomitable spirit of the nation. Each challenge or each journey contains profound lessons, helping us love and appreciate traditional values ​​more”.

In recent times, the municipal-level Youth Union has regularly organised activities to improve the cultural life of its members and the youth, with a focus on applying digital transformation to promote local cultural and historical values.

In order to further promote traditional cultural values, the Da Nang Youth Union encourages its members and young people citywide to research and take specific actions to preserve traditional cultural values.
