Launch of 8.2 meter long ink painting to celebrate 50 years of national reunification

Accordingly, since the beginning of 2025, the two artists have spent 5 months completing the work, which is presented in the form of typical slices of breakthrough projects of Ho Chi Minh City, including 5 projects: Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone, Nhieu Loc-Thi Nghe Canal, Saigon River Tunnel, Thu Duc City, Metro Line 1...
