The Hanoitimes - Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has passed an overall scheme to preserve and uphold the value of a World Cultural Heritage site - the Ho dynasty citadel.  

With a total area of over 5,000 hectares, the site covers the vestige of Ho dynasty citadel and surrounding areas in Vinh Loc districts, the northern province of Thanh Hoa.  

The master plan targets to preserve and embellish the World Cultural Heritage site and build special tourism products based o­n the area.

Specifically, the master plan will survey and assess the situation of the vestige; research archeological documents and management work of tourism activities; define space for preservation and develop surrounding areas.  

Located 50 km to the northeast of Thanh Hoa city, the Ho dynasty citadel is a unique architectural complex built in 1397 by Ho Quy Ly, the founder and the first king of the Ho dynasty in Viet Nam.

Situated in a magnificent landscape between the Ma and Buoi rivers in Binh Loc district, the citadel was built using large rocks and represents the development of architectural and construction techniques of Vietnamese people six centuries ago.

The big rocks weighing up to dozen tones were manually assembled into a sophisticated arch shape with a height of 10 meters.
