This is a complex that Vietnam is preparing a dossier to nominate for UNESCO to be listed as a World Heritage Site.

Speaking at the reception of the Ambassadors, Heads of international organizations and the Vietnam National Commission for UNESCO, Mr. Nguyen Minh Hung - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Hai Duong province - emphasized that the authorities and people of the three provinces of Hai Duong, Quang Ninh and Bac Giang are always united and make efforts to preserve and promote the tangible and intangible heritage values ​​of the Yen Tu - Vinh Nghiem - Con Son and Kiep Bac Complex.
