This is an annual contest, launched in 2000, to welcome the 1000th anniversary of Thăng Long-Hà Nội.

By answering seven questions about Hà Nội's historical milestones and cultural heritages, the participants will enrich their knowledge and understanding of Việt Nam’s capital city.

Contestants are also encouraged to propose their ideas to the preservation and promotion of the long-lasting historical and cultural values of Hà Nội.

The questionnaire is written in six languages, Vietnamese, English, Russian, Chinese, French and Esperanto.

Representatives from embassies of Cuba, Australia, Cambodia, Laos, Russia, Ukraine, Malaysia, the Philippines, UK and a large number of foreign students learning in Việt Nam attended the launching ceremony held on Monday.
