HCM City — Vote for Ha Long Bay as a World Natural Wonder (WNW) is the message of new Government website www.halong.tuoitre.com.vn, launched on Wednesday in HCM City.
Casting their votes the same day were local stars Miss Viet Nam Mai Phuong Thuy and model Thanh Hang and US literary prodigy Adora Svitak who is currently visiting the country.
The site, set up by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in collaboration with Quang Ninh Province, aims to get the beauty spot to a wider international audience by winning a competition to find the world’s seven most remarkable natural wonders.
The contest, New7Wonder at www.natural7wonder.com, is looking to name sites of natural beauty to rank alongside the seven wonders of the ancient world and the recently voted for seven wonders of the modern world, which include the Taj Mahal in India and Peru’s Machu Picchu.
The Vietnamese site is designed in three languages, Vietnamese, English and French, to make voting more convenient and includes information, documentaries and photos of Ha Long Bay as well as a writing and ecard contest.
Voting for New7Wonder is still in its first stage. The 21 sites who record the most votes will move onto round two, after which a board of experts will make the final selection.
Ha Long Bay has twice been recognised by UNESCO as a World Natural Heritage site. — VNS
