Merchants on the Waves: Vietnam’s trading ties with countries along the Maritime Silk Roads

Tentative period: 2 - 6 January 2019 (Wednesday - Sunday)

Vietnam is a long, narrow country that stretches along the eastern coast of the Indochinese peninsula. Apart from its spectacular nature, Vietnam has played an integral part in the creation of the Maritime Silk Roads, an epic crossroads of goods, religions, ideas, peoples and cultures which has left a profound historical and cultural legacy for humanity.

Dr Joseph Ting will lead PolyU students and staff in a historical exploration to Vietnam to delve into its long and fascinating history.
