Halong Bay New7Wonders of Nature Vesuvius

News roundup from around the New7Wonders world

Zurich/Switzerland — The Third Asian Indoor Games took place in Vietnam last month, with 4,500 athletes from 45 Asian countries competing in 24 sports. The chess tournaments were held at New7Wonders Finalist Ha Long Bay.

Despite having long been designated a protected area, the site around the magnificent symbol of Naples is being covered with garbage.
