Over the past few years, as well as holding entertainment activities, DTU has often arranged social campaigns like this one. Early in the morning, Dr. Nguyen Thi Minh Phuong, Dean of the DTU Faculty of Environmental and Chemical Engineering and many students assembled on Hoang Sa Street to clean up areas around H? Xanh, Bãi Cháy, Chùa Linh ?ng and Bãi dá Ðen.
Nguyen Hoang Gia Khanh, a second-year student, said: “The Son Tra peninsula is especially beautiful. I want to show my love for it by joining this campaign. I hope that DTU and Danang will organize more campaigns to keep Son Tra and the rest of Danang attractive, clean and green”.
Located 13 kilometers north-east from the center of Danang, the Son Tra Peninsula nature reserve is considered to be a unique and precious treasure, with several tourist attractions. The diverse flora and fauna are a unique natural source of beauty and even oxygen for the city and must not be destroyed.
