As a son of Ninh Binh, Ha Anh Tuan told Tuoi Tre Online about his return to Ninh Binh this time: "This program takes place in Ninh Binh, but Ninh Binh belongs to Vietnam.

All the artists here are Vietnamese artists. We promote the image of Ninh Binh and also the image of Vietnam. We will visit Hanoi, stop by Ninh Binh, Quang Ninh, Bac Ninh...

The thing that Ha Anh Tuan is happiest about is that his ancestors are from Ha Nam Ninh, he was born and raised in Saigon, he was friends and brother of a rapper from Quang Ninh, of artists from An Giang, Nghe An, Thai Nguyen, and Saigon. The absent friends are from Hanoi like Vu., tlinh, 2pillz, and another from Hue, Quang Hung MasterD.

The greatest mission of music is to bring people together.

Hopefully the passion for cultural investment in Ninh Binh in the coming years will bring everyone together."

After two nights of Sketch a Rose concert in Ho Chi Minh City, Ha Anh Tuan said his health was "exhausted" but he was very happy to be reunited with his beloved colleagues at the upcoming FORESTIVAL.

Den Vau recalls his time working as a worker in the tourism industry in Quang Ninh province. He has always loved the tourism industry and still wants to contribute as an artist. When Ha Anh Tuan invited him and heard the name of the FORESTIVAL program, he really wanted to participate.

The rapper answered Tuoi Tre Online 's question about the reason for participating: "I have time to work in tourism. My relatives are living in Ha Long, some are drivers, some are vendors, some are tour guides. We all know the value of each guest.

I really hope this model will be successful and smooth to become a specialty of Ninh Binh, so that other localities like Quang Ninh can learn and replicate it so that heritages across Vietnam can have music nights for everyone to immerse themselves in nature and experience cuisine and culture."

Ha Anh Tuan invites everyone he meets to... plant forests.

FORESTIVAL is an event organized annually by the Department of Tourism of Ninh Binh province and Viet Vision in Trang An - Ninh Binh.

The festival is part of the Heritage Heart project, including the Creative Week from May 24 to 31, also on Khe Coc Island. The Heritage Heart project is organized to celebrate the 11th anniversary of the Trang An - Ninh Binh scenic complex being recognized by UNESCO as a dual natural and cultural heritage.

According to director Cao Trung Hieu, the first 1,000 audiences who buy tickets for FORESTIVAL will be able to plant forests in Cuc Phuong National Park with the artists. This is a meaningful exchange activity, instead of the artists just standing on stage and performing with the audience.

Ha Anh Tuan is passionate about forest planting activities and often inspires other artists to do the same. In 2023, he invited Japanese music legend Kitaro to plant green teak trees in Cuc Phuong National Park.
