On July 12, the Hue Monuments Conservation Center announced that it had just approved a plan to select a contractor to construct the cleaning, preservation and repainting of degraded wood components at the Ngu Phung tower project, a package worth 401 million VND, taken from the 2025 tour fee revenue left for the center. This is one of the important items to preserve the aesthetic and architectural values of the symbolic works of the Hue Monuments Complex - a World Cultural Heritage recognized by UNESCO.
According to the plan, contractor selection will be implemented in the third quarter of 2025 in the form of open domestic bidding via the network to ensure publicity and transparency.
In addition to construction costs, the Center also plans to spend about 46 million VND on related tasks such as drawing, estimating, appraising prices and supervising construction.
As Lao Dong has reported, in mid-May 2025, many items of Ngu Phung tower (Ngo Mon) are seriously degraded, the wooden columns appear black, silver, and painted peeling.
Most of the structures made of ironwood such as doors, ceilings,ep, railings... have withered and become unstable in every small detail.
During the restoration period lasting from 2012 to 2019 (the most recent restoration), Ngo Mon was completely restored, including many important items such as: Renovation of the base and Ngu Phungau ( affairs of the foundation, cleaning of the fund, restoration of railings, brick floors as well as repair of the door arch system below the fund).
At the same time, repair the roof decoration and preservation and fireproofing for the project; paint all Ngu Phungau go components (the two floors of the main house and Ta, Huu Duc Lau) with traditional painting techniques; interior lighting and fireproofing system according to modern techniques.
At that time, the restoration of Ngo Mon was divided into two stages 2012 - 2015 and 2016 - 2019 with an investment capital of more than 80 billion VND. Of which, phase 2, the project is invested with a budget of about 44 billion VND. However, after only 4 years of operation and use, Ngu Phung tower has clearly "shaped".
