Exhibition on Suiseki rocks

On display at the event are a total of 35 beautiful works of Suiseki rocks highlighting the beauty of the Creator, and all of them were collected by experienced collector Phan Khoi.

Suiseki are small naturally occurring or shaped rocks which are traditionally appreciated.

The expensive stones which are of natural origin and are found in rivers, oceans, and karst areas, show off their special shapes, colour and textures, and they are not allowed to be reshaped.

These displayed exhibits have won the outstanding prizes at prestigious competitions in such Vietnamese localities as Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Thap, and Da Lat City.
