HCM CITY — Two hundred photographs by journalists working for tourism publications are on display at an exhibition that opened in HCM City on Wednesday.
Sac Xuan Du Lich 2011 (Spring Colours in Tourism) marks the first anniversary of the HCM City Photographers Club, and has colour and black-and-white photos taken last year by 21 members depicting landscapes, people, and other images that attracted the photographers.
La Quoc Khanh, deputy director of the HCM City Culture, Sport and Tourism Department, thanked them for their contribution in showcasing the multi-colours and diversity of HCM City and also the country to both domestic and international audiences.
The exhibition, at the Journalists Association's office in District 1, will go on until February 10.
Last year club members held a photo exhibition in February to mark the 1,000th anniversary of capital Ha Noi last year and another themed HCM City – 24 Hours in April.
An exhibition titled Truong Sa Ngay Nay (Truong Sa Nowadays) by Hoang Chi Hung, the club's head, last August raised VND200 million (US$10,000) for soldiers on Truong Sa (Spratly) Island. — VNS
