During the two weekends (September 27-28). the Con Son - Kiep Bac World Heritage Site welcomed about 65,000 visitors, an increase of more than 4 times compared to the same period in 2023 (about 15,000 visits).
This sudden increase shows the strong attraction of the Heritage after being honored by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, located in the Yen Tu - Vinh Nghiem - Con Son, Kiep Bac Monument and Scenic Landscape Complex.
This is a positive signal affirming the vitality and eternal value of heritage, while opening up great opportunities to develop cultural and spiritual tourism not only in Hai Phong but also in the Northern Delta region and the whole country.
This year, the Con Son - Kiep Bac Autumn Festival is held on a large scale, with many new and attractive activities, creating a vibrant atmosphere, attracting a large number of visitors from all over the world.
At the Kien Bac Relic Site, the festival space is expanded from the main gate of the temple to the Luc Dau River. The live art program combined with modern projection technology such as 3D mapping and layer mapping vividly recreated the feats of the Tran and Hung Dao Dai Vuong dynasties, while widely promoting the outstanding global values of the 5 component relics of the World Heritage in West Hai Phong.
The Culture, Tourism and Trade Promotion Week is also organized on a large scale with many new points such as handmade product performances, introducing OCOP specialties, local cuisine, folk art performances and cultural exchanges.
In particular, three newly introduced tours include: "1 journey to 5 World Heritage destinations", "Following the footsteps of the three groups of Truc Lam" and "Exploring Con Son - Kiep Bac Heritage", promising to bring a complete experience to visitors.
being recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site not only enhances the status of the relic site but also contributes to spreading profound cultural and spiritual values to the domestic and international communities.
This will be an important driving force for Hai Phong to continue to preserve and promote heritage values and affirm its position in sustainable tourism development.
