via Bao Ha Giang, 29 July 2024: Hung Yen Province, rich in Red River Delta cultural heritage, is actively preserving its historical sites and intangible traditions like the Pho Hien Folk Culture Festival. With over 1,800 relics and plans aligned with tourism development, Hung Yen aims to boost public awareness and tourism, enhancing the region’s cultural and economic vitality.
The old Pho Hien – currently Hung Yen City – is a land cultivated by the Red River, featuring a cultural space bearing the marks of a golden age, as stated in the words, “The capital comes first, Pho Hien comes second”. The city has 182 cultural, historical, artistic and architectural sites, including the special national site of Pho Hien, which includes 20 national sites, 25 provincial sites, over 100 steles and thousands of valuable artefacts that combine eastern and western styles.
Head of the Pho Hien Special National Site Management Nguyen Thi Hoa said, there remain many unique architectural works in the Pho Hien complex, which are evidence of the golden age of “Little Trang An”. They are the nation and humanity’s invaluable heritage.
Within the Pho Hien complex, many sites still retain their originality from arts to architecture and history from the Dinh Dynasty to the Nguyen Dynasty, such as the May Temple of the Dinh Dynasty, Hien Buddhist Temple of the Ly Dynasty, Tan La and Kim Dang Temples of the Le Dynasty, Thien Hau Temple of the Later Le Dynasty, and Tran and Mau Temples of the Nguyen Dynasty. The density of spiritual sites gives Hung Yen City a unique cultural identity.
