As part of the “Yen Tu Chess King” Chinese Chess Tournament 2026, a meeting and exchange between Vietnamese and Chinese delegates and players took place on October 31 at the Art Gallery in the Zen Mirror area of Yen Tu. The event aimed to strengthen connections and promote cooperation in culture, sports and tourism.
Participants included leaders of the Viet Nam Chess Federation, representatives of the Yantai Chess Association in China, Chinese delegates and players, and representatives of the organisations involved in organising the tournament.
At the meeting, delegates discussed the development of Chinese chess, the organisation of tournaments, exchanges between Vietnamese and Chinese players, and ways to connect clubs and businesses and expand cooperation in culture, sports and tourism. They also discussed developing the “Yen Tu Chess King” Chinese Chess Tournament into an annual cultural and sporting event.
The programme aims to promote the practice of Chinese chess, improve playing standards and provide a platform for players, particularly younger generations, while fostering humanistic values through chess exchanges.
As part of the programme, the Chinese delegation offered incense at the Yen Tu Special National Relic Site and learned about the area’s distinctive historical, cultural and spiritual values.
