A major new visitor attraction featuring reproductions of villages inhabited by Vietnam's 54 ethnic minority tribes has opened in Hanoi.

Covering a total area of 1,544 hectares, the Vietnamese Peoples' Culture and Tourism Village also includes replicas of world heritage sites, a cultural and entertainment centre, and a floating park.

While the village, started in 2003, will not be fully operational until 2015, it has been partially opened to coincide with celebrations marking Hanoi's 1,000 year anniversary.

Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, Party General Secretary Nong Duc Manh, and other high-ranking officials were joined by foreign ambassadors at the opening ceremony, which was held in Son Tay Town's Dong Mo.
