HCM CITY — One thousand students and 100 artists gathered at the HCM City Youth Cultural House on Saturday to vote for Ha Long Bay as a new world natural wonder.

The newly nominated Viet Nam Tourism Ambassador, actress Ly Nha Ky, joined singers to belt out a newly composed song by Pham Dang Khuong that calls on people to vote for the bay.
