Nguyen Van Toan and other officials make a fact-finding trip to the relic site
of Trai Hamlet Cave in Tan Lap commune, Lac Son district.
The delegation inspected the planning of the
restoration and upgrade of the national relic sites of Trai Hamlet Cave in Tan
Lap commune and Vanh Village Stone Shelter in Yen Phu commune. These are
outstanding and famous archaeological sites dating back to the Hoa Binh
Civilisation.
Trai Hamlet Cave was listed as a national relic
site by the Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture,
Sports and Tourism) in 2001 while Vanh Village Stone Shelter was granted the
status in 2003. The Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee is submitting a
scientific dossier to the Prime Minister to seek the recognition of these two
relic sites as those of special national importance.
Under the plan on preserving and bringing into
play the values of the Muong ethnic culture and the Hoa Binh Civilisation for
2023 - 2030, the 3.08ha relic site area of Vanh Village Stone Shelter is
maintained while the area zoned for protection is 5.407ha, about 2.237ha larger
than planned. Trai Hamlet Cave has its relic site area kept at 1.48ha while the
area zoned for protection is 1.55ha, about 0.75ha larger than planned. As the
relic site of Trai Hamlet Cave holds much potential and advantages for
developing spiritual and leisure tourism, its area is set to be expanded to
9.5ha.
Roads to the relic sites, as well as their
exhibition halls, offices, spaces for events and festivals, service areas, and
other facilities will be expanded.
At the meeting with local authorities, Vice
Chairman Toan asked the Lac Son district People’s Committee to work closely
with relevant departments and sectors along with the consultation unit to
ensure the quality, long-term vision, and law adherence of the project on
restoring and upgrading the national relic sites of Trai Hamlet Cave and Vanh
Village Stone Shelter.
During the restoration and upgrade, the district
needs to consult with culture researchers to ensure the project meets the
requirements for preserving and promoting the relic sites’ cultural,
historical, and spiritual values in order to capitalise on the core values of
the Muong ethnic culture and the Hoa Binh Civilisation for sustainable tourism
development.
