The Lam Kinh National Special Historical Site, with its beautiful natural
scenery, has become an ideal destination in early spring. Having weathered many
historical ups and downs, after restoration, the site boasts not only tombs and
temples honoring the ancestors of the Le dynasty, but also lush green landscapes
and harmonious architecture, attracting visitors from far and wide to pay their
respects.
At the Phu Na historical and scenic site, which usually welcomes a large number
of visitors offering incense during Tet (Lunar New Year), preparations are
underway with a focus on preserving cultural beauty and religious civility. The
Phu Na Historical Site Management Board has issued a plan for organizing the
2026 festival, deploying inspection teams to monitor service activities,
security, and folk games to ensure safety. Regarding traffic flow management,
the Management Board is deploying personnel to provide guidance in an orderly
manner, helping people perform rituals in an orderly manner and avoiding
crowding and pushing during peak periods.
In the journey of "going to the mountains and down to the sea", the complex of
historical relics including the Doc Cuoc Temple, Co Tien Temple, and To Hien
Thanh Temple (Sam Son ward) is an unmissable destination. Preparations for
