The Temple of Literature (Source: hanoimoi.com.vn)

This is the first activity of the Temple of Literature Cultural Space Project, which was born with the function of promoting cultural activities at the Temple of Literature’s Cultural Space, as well as providing information about the history of the Temple of Literature to the public in order to spread the thousand-year historical and cultural values of the nation.

A special national relic site, Van Mieu - Quoc Tu Giam was founded in the 11th century and considered the first university of Vietnam. It has also been a place for honouring the fondness for learning for centuries.

However, how to turn it into a vivid cultural space, not merely a tourist attraction, so as to disseminate the fine cultural values of not only this site but also Vietnam is not a simple issue.

VNA quoted the saying of Le Xuan Kieu, Director of the Van Mieu - Quoc Tu Giam Centre for Cultural and Scientific Activities that the centre has applied new technology to studying and bringing into play the relic site’s values and developing new products to serve visitors once the place is re-opened.

Notably, the centre is seeking new ways to bring traditional values closer to visitors to help them understand more and have appropriate behaviours toward the relic site./.
