After storm No. 3, the area around the Black Shirt National Historical Site, known as the "Imperial Citadel of Yen Bai", suffered serious landslides.

The historical and archaeological site of Hac Y, in Tan Linh commune, Luc Yen district, was discovered in 1995. This is a complex of religious and belief architectural relics of communal house - temple - pagoda and other auxiliary works including Than Ao Den mountain (Hac Y), Hac Y pagoda, Dong pagoda, Dai Cai temple, Thuong Mien pagoda, Ben Lan pagoda, Ao Vua, and Racecourse, spread over an area of ​​about 2km2.

Through many excavations, archaeologists discovered in this relic complex many artifacts with shapes and ages similar to those excavated in the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long - Hanoi such as: Bricks, tiles, stone pillars, Bodhi leaves, lotus, chrysanthemums, terracotta statues of various mascots such as dragon heads, phoenixes... along with worship objects, ceramics dating from the Tran Dynasty (13th-14th centuries). Historical scientists believe that this is a large-scale Buddhist architectural complex and is considered the "Imperial Citadel of Yen Bai".

In 2001, the Black Shirt Relic was recognized as a national historical and archaeological relic. However, due to the impact of storm No. 3, many structures and items of this relic complex were severely damaged.

The project will be implemented over 3 years. In the immediate future, the province will renovate and restore Dai Cai Temple and Pagoda, expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
