Speaking at the scientific seminar "Preserving and promoting the value of Trung Phuong ancient port city associated with the development of cultural tourism in the Southeast Da Nang region", Mr. Nguyen Van Hoa - Secretary of the Party Committee of Duy Nghia commune (Da Nang City) - affirmed: "Trung Phuong - an ancient port city that was buried by sea sand for centuries - will have the opportunity to revive in a new face, becoming a driving force for tourism, economy and culture development for the Southeast Da Nang city in the future".
To realize this goal, the immediate action program will focus on studying the overall heritage space, continuing to survey, digitize data and map the scale from Cua Dai, An Luong to Bau Au and neighboring Champa relics.
Regarding legality, the Secretary of the Party Committee of Duy Nghia commune emphasized the key solution: "Things that can be done immediately are to use the results of the Seminar as a scientific basis to request adjustments and supplements to the new plan (after the merger of the province), zoning plan to protect and have conditions to preserve and promote the heritage of Trung Phuong ancient port city".
Based on this planning, the locality will promote investment and call on businesses to form a coastal heritage tourist route in the south of the city. This route will connect the chain of spaces Trung Phuong, Hoi An, Cu Lao Cham, Tra Kieu and Dong Duong. Along with that is the idea of forming a "real-scene museum" to recreate the history of the trading port, the lives of residents, the fish sauce making profession and the memory of Bau boats.
Besides the economic problem, the coastal area of Trung Phuong is continuously being affected by landslides and climate change, directly threatening historical traces and people's lives.
Mr. Nguyen Van Hoa stated clearly: "However, all development plans must be based on conservation. Investment in landslide prevention works, restoring coastal ecosystems and protecting natural landscapes needs to be implemented synchronously with tourism projects. This is not only a solution to protect heritage, but also a prerequisite for sustainable development.
According to Mr. Hoa, heritage only truly lives when it becomes a part of contemporary life. For Trung Phuong, preservation is not about preserving what remains, but about evoking historical memories and transforming cultural values into development resources.
