Formed in the sea of the Philippines, Linda strengthened as it moved westward. Later, it struck extreme Southern Vietnam with winds of 100 kilometres an hour.

Gusts and heavy rainfalls caused flooding, destroyed crops, damaged about 200,000 houses and left about 383,000 people homeless.

These stone tablets are different from those in other
Asian countries, including China which had influenced

Vietnamese feudal education. The decorations on Viet Nam’s stone tablets were more diverse.

efforts to preserve and promote heritage to international community. The recognition would also help to raise
the awareness in heritage preservation.

courtyard is dedicated for Confucius and his 72 honoured students, as well as Chu Van An - one of the most
