Fifty photographs by 20 HCM City children star in an exhibition in Ha Noi Children's Palace titled Vietnam Through Children's Eyes.

The exhibition, sponsored by the Vietnam Artistic Photographers' Association, was of colour photographs of children in District 2.

The photos were taken in various regions throughout the country that the young photographers visited during the past five summers.

Mai Huong, whose daughter is studying culture at the Children's Palace, stopped to contemplate the exhibition.

"I'm impressed by these works. They capture their subjects professionally with perfect brightness and meaningful content," Huong said. "Several pictures made me believe they were taken by experienced photographers."

Viewers had the same feeling. "Many children captured their parents hard at work, and the photos are taken with sympathy and understanding," said 10-year-old Ha Linh.

Linh said that she was particularly interested in Niem Dam Me (Passion) by Pham Tuan Tu, 15. "Tu took a photo of a boy passionately making a pottery vase. Thanks to District 2's Cultural Centre, the children can experience many interesting things in life, while I just learn at school."

The photographers show their experience when capturing landscapes of mountains, sea, sand-banks and fields. The photo Bien Thuan An (Thuan An Beach) by Pham Minh Thao Nhi, 13, is a prime example.

Visitors can feel the childish soul coming out in Hon Nhien (Naive), a photo of a group of happy, smiling children by Nguyen Kim Han, 17. The artworks have already been exhibited in various other cities, including Hue, Thai Nguyen and HCM City.

The exhibition runs untill August 23 at the Ha Noi Children's Palace, Ly Thai To Street, Hanoi.
