PSA PHOTO GATHERING 2026

The Photographic Society of America is pleased to announce the 4th PSA Photo Gathering 2026 in North Vietnam. The 8-day–7-night Photo Gathering will cover many spectacular places such as Hanoi, Ninh Binh, home to the UNESCO-listed Trang An Landscape Complex and a place for the traditional Hoa Lu Festival. We also visit Bai Dinh—one of Southeast Asia’s largest spiritual complexes. In Thai Nguyen, you will explore the cultural world of the Tay people at the Thai Hai Reserve. Heritage comes alive through traditional crafts like rice wine brewing, tea roasting, cake making, and herbal medicine, as well as ceremonial performances such as waterless puppetry, gratitude rituals, and conical hat crafting—all passed down by the people.

This is not just a chance to create award-worthy photographs; it’s a cultural voyage, a community connection, and a profound encounter with Vietnam—a land where light weaves heritage.

The Essence of Central Vietnam – Not a tour, but a legacy.

Join us on a once-in-a-lifetime photographic journey where Vietnam’s world-class heritage becomes your stage. This is not a commercial tour; it is a heartfelt invitation, from the spirit of Vietnam, within the framework of PSA Photogathering 2026 – created exclusively for photographers who wish to capture and share the soul of this land. Unlike standard tours, this program offers rare privileges that few have ever experienced: an exclusive live performance of Nhã nhạc Cung đình Huế (Imperial Court Music, UNESCO Intangible Heritage) inside the Imperial Citadel, and the Legendary Mỹ Sơn Twilight Show, performed solely for our group amid ancient Cham temples. From the lantern-lit streets of Hội An to dawn fishing scenes at Tam Tiến and Quảng Lợi Lagoon, every setting is carefully curated for powerful storytelling through your lens.

Taking place during Vietnam’s national holidays – April 30 and May 1, this journey is more than travel. It is a convergence of culture, history, and photography – turning each image into a timeless narrative that carries Vietnam’s pride to the world.
