The "Tran Vu Bell" night tour is the first cultural - spiritual tourism product combined with live performance designed at a sacred temple of the ancient Thang Long land - Quan Thanh temple (Ba Dinh district, Hanoi).

The show is 90 minutes long and is held weekly with about 100 guests per show.

The night tour is inspired by the traditional festival celebrating the day of Saint Huyen Thien Tran Vu at Quan Thanh Temple.

"Tran Vu Bell" includes live performances rich in traditional materials, hoping to revive memories of a land "converging the sacred spirit of the capital".

In particular, stories associated with the Truc Bach silk weaving village, where Trinh court ladies used to weave brocade for the king, or the Ngu Xa bronze casting village... will help visitors better understand the land of the thousand-year-old capital.

In addition, the program also takes viewers into a sacred art space, where the quiet bells of the temple echo.

Through this night tour, the thousand-year-old cultural values ​​of Thang Long are retold in a lively and familiar theatrical language, aiming at developing sustainable tourism associated with cultural depth.

The night tour is a product developed by the People's Committee of Ba Dinh District and the Management Board of the National Monument of Quan Thanh Temple in collaboration with researchers and travel agencies.

In addition to the purpose of preserving and promoting heritage values, the program is expected to promote tourism and economic development of the district.

The "Tran Vu Bell" night tour promises to diversify Hanoi 's night tourism products. Previously, many other night tours at Hoa Lo Prison, Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam, Thang Long Imperial Citadel... have left an impression on tourists.

Quan Thanh Temple was built during the Ly Dynasty. This is one of the four temples known as "Thang Long Tu Tran" - four sacred temples guarding the four directions of the ancient Thang Long citadel.

Today, Quan Thanh Temple is located at the corner of Thanh Nien Street and Quan Thanh Street, overlooking West Lake. The temple worships Huyen Thien Tran Vu - the god who guards the North and protects agricultural residents.
