Socialist Republic of Vietnam

Vietnam will host the Asia-Pacific Photography forum 'Crossing Bridges' at the end of August.

This year will see Crossing Bridges in Sapa and Hanoi with participation of 40 foreign photographers and Vietnamese members of photography websites.

Crossing Bridges links photographers across the Asian-Pacific region. Over the past three years the forum has gathered a number of brilliant figures with more than 100,000 members from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and recently Vietnam.

They are all enthusiatic about photography and want to share their works and exchange views on the online forum.

Reportedly, Crossing Bridges provides regional photographers with opportunities to work in different nations, sharing their views and feelings of life. The organisers of Crossing Bridges tries to hold the event in a different country every year to create new inspiration for photographers, and at the same time to admit more forums from other countries.

They exchange their views of life through the Crossing Bridge events.

The yearly Crossing Bridges event not only fosters the region's photographic movement as a hobby but also long-standing, good friendships amongst photographers without cultural and religious discrimination.
