Hoa Binh province has paid due attention to preserving and managing local cultural relic sites in tandem with branching out tourism, contributing to the socio-economic development.
Chua Tien (Tien pagoda) festival in Lac Thuy district is
organised annually to preserve and promote the values of the relic complex.
Notable preservation efforts have been seen in
the Chua Tien landscape and relic complex, which boasts untouched beauty with
magical stalactite caves.
According to Vice Chairman of the Lac Thuy
district People’s Committee Nguyen Ngoc Van, the Chua Tien (Tien pagoda) scenic
spot and relic complex has 21 relics, including historical, cultural,
archaeological ones and landscapes. Outstanding caves such as Mau Long, Tam Hoa
and Tien have lured many visitors.
The construction of Huong Binh cable line,
connecting the pagoda with the Huong pagoda complex in My Duc district, Hanoi,
which is underway, will open up a new direction for local tourism development,
he said, adding the Tien pagoda festival was organised at the provincial level
in 2024, meeting local residents’ needs for cultural and religious activities,
and helping introduce ethnic cultural heritage and bolster local tourism
development.
Deputy Director of the provincial Department of
Culture, Sports and Tuorism Luu Huy Linh said that local relics and scenic
spots have been well managed and renovated, with 293 historical-cultural relic
sites in the province’s list of protected ones, and 112 classified as national
relic sites (41) and provincial-level sites (71).
Several historical-cultural relics have become
not only tourist attractions but also destinations for revolutionary education
such as Muong Khoi war zone, an archaeological site in Trai hamlet, Thach Yen
revolutionary base, and Dau Rong cave scenic complex, he said.
However, he pointed out several challenges to
the management of local relic sites, including limited awareness of several
party committees and administrations, a shortage of capital for restoration and
renovation work, as well as low efficiency of the communications work.
With a view to effectively carrying out the
province’s policy to create a breakthrough in development through preserving
and promoting the values of ethnic culture, improving the efficacy of the state
management and mobilising resources for the renovation work, the standing board
of the provincial Party Committee issued a directive dated June 28, ordering
enhanced communications work on related documents and policies.
According to Linh, departments, branches,
sectors and the People’s Committees of districts and Hoa Binh city must step up
state management over local historical-cultural relic sites, allocate budget
for and build mechanisms and policies to mobilise resources for the restoration
work, and focus on the study and popularisation of the values of relic sites
belonging to the "Hoa Binh Culture”. He also noted the need to study the
application of science technology in the preservation and promotion work, and
develop high-quality human resources in the area.
