Vietnam Bay Enters Final Round of Voting on Natural Wonders List
Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay is among the top 28 nominees to advance to the final stage of a voting campaign for the world’s seven new natural wonders.
The bay, which has been recognized twice by UNESCO for its landscapes and geological values, ranks 12th among the 28 successful locations in terms of votes so far, according to the NewOpenWorld’s Website on July 21.
The Amazon rainforest, which stretches through nine countries in South America, leads the voting.
Asian countries have six nominees in the final round, with three recommended by Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) members Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines.
The voting campaign will continue until the seven new wonders of nature have been chosen, and the new list will be unveiled in 2011. (vietnamplus)
