Thanh Hoa (VNS/VNA) - Remnants of the foundations of a 10th century pagoda in Xuan Dai Mountain,Vinh Loc district, the central province of Thanh Hoa, have just been excavated.

The results have been announced recently by scientists from Ho Citadel HeritagePreservation Centre and the Vietnam Archaeology Institute.

At an excavation site on the mountainside behind Vinh Ninh Primary School,archaeologists discovered four layers of foundations constructed from largestones. Most of the stones remain in their original places, arranged in a linerunning east to west. Some of them fell out of line.

Each layer of the foundation has a different width and distance from the otherlayers. For example, the gap between the second to the third stone layer is8.8m while the third stone layer is locates 0.5-0.7m higher than the secondlayer.

Around the excavation site, archaeologists found four pillars dating back tothe Tran Dynasty (1225-1400). Four other fallen pillars from the Le Trung HungDynasty (1533-1789) were also found. The Le Trung Hung pillars are carved in amore sophisticated style than the ones from the Tran dynasty, according toarchaeologists.

A great number of tiles from the Tran Dynasty were also found, as well asglazed ceramic tiles from the Late Le Dynasty (1428-1527), lotus decorativepatterns from the Le Trung Hung Dynasty and metal nails.

According to a book titled So Luoc Lich Su Van Hoa Chua Thong (AQuick Review of the Culture and History of Thong Pagoda) by Tran Duy Phuong,“Du Anh Pagoda and Thong Cu Pagoda are other names of Thong Pagoda, which wasfirst built in the Early Le Dynasty (980-1009) of bricks and tiles brought fromthe ancient citadel in Hoa Lu (today’s Ninh Bình province).”

At the end of the Tran Dynasty, King Tran Nghe Tong (1370-1372) brought hisdaughter, princess Du Anh, to attend a local festival and get treated for anillness at the pagoda. She got healthier after consuming herbs taken fromnearby Ho Cong grotto.

The King then improved the pagoda. Du Anh directly managed the construction onthe building as well as the creation of statues and a bell. The pagoda wasnamed after her.

According to researcher Nguyen Duc Binh from the institute, the excavation sitebehind the school was the location of the old temple dedicated to the princess.

Anotherbook on geology of Vinh Loc district mentions there is a temple dedicated tothe princess near the pagoda. “The temple is located on the mountainside.”

The eight pillars at thefoundation of different periods prove the temple existed for a long time andthat the structure had been renovated multiple times, Binh said.

Architectural remnants and objects unearthed at the site show that the site iseven older than two other ancient structures found in the district – Ho Citadel(built in 1397) and Nam Giao royal worship platform (1400).

Binh said the relic site must have been built on a large area, with space toprotect various valuable antiques.

“As the excavation site is small, we still cannot see the whole scale of thestructures,” Binh said. “The site needs to be further excavated in order togather enough evidence and information for future preservation.”

Researcher Do Quang Trong, Director of the Ho Citadel Preservation Centre,suggested displaying the unearthed objects at the site to enhance people’sawareness of the importance of protecting heritage sited and to develop thevalue of the relic site.

“The site may be named one of the locality’s destinations for spiritualtourism,” he said.-VNS/VNA

The additional seating in Grandstand A4 will be put into operation ahead of schedule to meet growing demand from both local residents and tourists eager to enjoy one of Vietnam’s most anticipated summer events.

At a press conference held in Hanoi on the afternoon of June 22, organisers said the competition is expected to welcome approximately 15,000 participants competing across the four distances of 42km, 21km, 9.2km and 2.9km.

Over the past decade, Trang An has become a successful example of development that regards culture as both a driving force and an objective while placing people at the centre of all development efforts.

Nguyen Thi Dieu Ly defeated Kama Tsubasa of Japan 5–1 to take the title in the women's 68kg class, helping Vietnam complete its target at the continental tournament.

The main festival activities will take place from July 17-19 in Nha Trang, while related events will be held across the province from July 10 to August 10.

More than an annual sporting event, this year’s tournament has become a symbol of the resilience, solidarity and growing strength of the Vietnamese community in Russia.

Quartet Ta Ngoc Tuong, Vu Ngoc Khanh, Tran Dinh Son and Le Ngoc Phuc stunned onlookers with their win in the men's 4x400m event.

The festival aims to showcase the cultural and tourism values of Thang Long – Hanoi, honour the beauty and significance of the lotus in Vietnamese life, and promote lotus-based products as part of efforts to boost the capital’s cultural and tourism industries.

Vietnam’s cultural industries currently comprise around 70,000 active enterprises, generating employment for more than 3 million workers and contributing an estimated 2.5–3% of GDP. Several localities have also developed creative ecosystems, innovation hubs, and effective cultural economy models.

Among the province’s success stories is Ta Phin commune, one of Lao Cai’s earliest community-based tourism destinations and a locality renowned for its diverse traditional occupations that provide stable and sustainable livelihoods for ethnic minority communities.

Lorient Mayor Fabrice Loher said the festival offers an opportunity for the public to discover the richness of Vietnamese culture while fostering dialogue, mutual understanding and stronger community ties through art and cultural activities.

As the tourism sector seeks to increase visitor spending and extend stays, the development of the night-time economy is increasingly seen as a way to create new tourism products, enhance destination appeal and support sustainable urban growth.

The documentary, filmed in Argentina and Vietnam, centres on Argentine war correspondent Ignacio Ezcurra and the decades-long effort to uncover the circumstances surrounding his death during the Vietnam War.

Beyond avoiding unlawful activities, many young supporters are also helping foster a healthier online environment. Regardless of which team they support, they maintain respect for opponents, coaches and players participating in the tournament.

The concert will celebrate the timeless masterpieces of Russian composers Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Modest Mussorgsky, and Hungarian Béla Bartók.

UNESCO Assistant Director-General for Culture Nayef Al-Fayez stressed that the values represented by Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam – the fondness for learning, cultural continuity, and the pursuit of knowledge – closely align with UNESCO’s mission to advance education, safeguard heritage, and foster dialogue among nations.

That transoceanic romance endures as a symbol of devotion and an early cultural bridge between Vietnam and Japan. It has spawned a string of artistic works, notably the “Princess Anio” musical, first staged to mark half a century of diplomatic ties.

Beyond product display and retail, the village is positioned as an open cultural space where visitors can explore the history of pottery-making, observe production processes, interact with artisans, and take part directly in pottery-making activities.

As cultural industries and the creative economy gain momentum, AI is proving valuable in improving efficiency, streamlining operations and enabling creators to focus more on artistic content.

The centre is expected to become a vital venue for the Vietnamese community in Thailand to hold on to their cultural identity and language, while doubling as a bridge to further deepen the two countries’ Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
