These solutions were just discussed in detail at the seminar "Preserving and promoting the value of Trung Phuong ancient town port associated with the development of cultural tourism in the Southeast Da Nang region" held on July 15.
Regarding the origin and space of this sedimentary area, Dr. Luu Anh Ro - General Secretary of the Da Nang City Historical Science Association commented: "Trung Phuong is not only an ancient coastal village formed early, but also a space that converges historical, commercial, maritime and unique cultural values of Quang land, which is the resonance and survival of Dai Chiem gate and Hoi An in history".
From the material traces remaining, Dr. Luu Anh Ro believes that this place has the characteristics of a riverside town and is "the silver communal house of foreign ships", where ships anchor to gather goods.
In order to exploit this historical value, Dr. Luu Anh Ro proposed building the "Trung Phuong River and Water Exhibition House" to focus on introducing the history of fishing through traditional fishing gear, fishing vehicles and fish sauce making. The formation of this cultural institution is expected to create a unique complementary tourism product, maximizing the advantages of an area that once played a maritime transit role.
Currently, Duy Nghia commune (Da Nang City) has a great advantage to develop tourism when located next to Hoi An city. Assessing this opportunity, Chairman of the Da Nang City Historical Science Association Bui Van Tieng warned: "Losing position is easy to create a feeling of boredom for tourists if Duy Nghia turns itself into a copy of Hoi An tourism".
To create a different direction, Mr. Bui Van Tieng emphasized: "The most important solution is to create conditions to connect Champa destination, Trung Phuong ancient town, with two other Champa destinations, which are the World Cultural Heritage My Son Temple and Tower Area and the National Special Relic, Dong Duong Buddhist Institute".
However, the ambition to plan a heritage area is facing coastal erosion, directly threatening people's living space. According to Mr. Bui Van Tieng, the locality needs to prioritize coastal erosion prevention measures to retain the community.
