Expedite the restoration of Huong Ap Pagoda.

The project to restore Huong Ap Pagoda, located within the Ly Nam De National Historical Site in Tien Phong Ward, Pho Yen City (now Van Xuan Ward, Thai Nguyen Province), was appraised by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and approved by the Provincial People's Committee in August 2023, with a total investment of over 89.4 billion VND from socialized sources, to be implemented over 3 years.

The main temple building is approximately 60% complete; the ancestral temple is about 80% finished.

The project includes many components, such as: the triple gate, the main sanctuary, the ancestral house, the mother goddess house, the bell tower - drum tower, the temple dedicated to King Ly Nam De, and the preservation house.

To date, the main temple building is approximately 60% complete, while the ancestral temple is about 80% finished. The construction unit has proactively mobilized and increased the number of skilled craftsmen to carry out the work. The structural framework and columns of the buildings are constructed using traditional methods, reflecting rich traditional architectural and artistic values.

The building's column frame was constructed using manual methods.

Currently, the sculpting work is being completed urgently. The construction unit is taking advantage of favorable weather conditions to simultaneously implement the remaining items, striving to complete the structure's framework within the next two months.

The restoration of Huong Ap Pagoda not only contributes to the preservation of historical relics associated with the homeland and career of King Ly Nam De, but also creates a majestic and imposing architectural work, a highlight in the cultural and spiritual space of Thai Nguyen province, contributing to the education of patriotic traditions, national pride, and the development of local tourism.
