According to Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Dang Thi Bich Lien, the pledge is a positive sign, contributing to the preservation and promotion of the national cultural heritage.
Ms. Lien also asked the two localities to carry out several works such as promoting the introduction of the relics site, improving the community’s awareness and responsibility in protecting and upholding values of relics in order to make it become an attractive tourism destination.
The relic complex is located on the edge of Hai Van mountain pass on National Highway 1 at the geographical boundary between Thua Thien-Hue province and Da Nang city. It is the highest and the most beautiful pass in Vietnam.
Hai Van is a mountain cliff clinging from the Truong Son range and pointing to the sea. On its peak, a king of the Nguyen Dynasty (1802-1945) built the giant brick gate in 1826 to mark the border of the former Hue imperial capital’s land and name it Hai Van Quan./.
