On May 18, speaking with Lao Dong, the leader of the Management Board of Lam Kinh National Special Relic Site (Thanh Hoa) said that the unit is clearing the welcome gate and trees broken by the storm and will carry out the proposed process of building a new welcome gate.
Previously, on the evening of May 17, a heavy thunderstorm occurred in Tho Xuan district, causing the welcome gate to Lam Kinh Relic Site - the resting place of many kings of the Hau Le Dynasty - to collapse completely. The scene recorded the steel gate frame and large signs lying on the road, fortunately not causing any human casualties.
According to Lam Kinh Relic Management Board, the welcome gate was built a long time ago and is in the process of preparing to replace it with a new project.
There was a case of the violation of the tomb of King Le Tuc Tong not long ago. Accordingly, at the end of April 2025, people discovered the tomb of King Le Tuc Tong - one of the kings of Le Trung Hung dynasty - dug nearly 1.6 meters deep, breaking the ancient stele. The incident was later verified related to three Chinese citizenship and some Vietnamese.
The police of Thanh Hoa province quickly entered, prosecuted the case, prosecuted the accused. According to the report, the subjects took advantage of the dark night, invaded the ancient tomb area to dig for the purpose of searching for antiques. This behavior not only violates serious laws but also causes indignation in the public by the sacred nature and the special cultural - historical values of Lam Kinh.
The defendants were arrested, and some exhibits and stolen equipment were also seized to serve the investigation.
Lam Kinh is a special national historical relic site, where many kings, queens and princes of the Le Dynasty such as Le Thai To, Le Thanh Tong, Le Tuc Tong were buried... The large relic space, rich in cultural values, is becoming an important historical and spiritual destination of the country.
