Miss Vietnam 2026 contestants engage in cultural and artistic activities

Contestants of the Miss Vietnam 2026 pageant have begun their journey in the communal house, where 53 participants introduced themselves through traditional gifts representing their hometowns. For example, Vũ Thị Khánh Vi presented a small boat symbolizing Ninh Bình, while Thái Anh Thư shared a 'trâm' plant from Đồng Tháp.

Following their travels through Hanoi, Bac Ninh, and Lai Chau, the contestants also participated in the 'Van Gogh Timeless' multisensory exhibition. The 4,000-square-meter event uses light, sound, and advanced technology to recreate 165 works by the Dutch painter. Contestants noted that the immersive experience offered a unique way to engage with art, with some comparing the feeling to stepping directly into the paintings.
