The Legend of Am Tien - The epic story of Ba Trieu told in the passionate language of architecture

Am Tien Cable Car and Commercial Service Area – The first item in the Am Tien Spiritual Tourism and Historical Relic Complex called “Am Tien Legend” was just started bySun Group Corporation at the end of April. The entire Am Tien Legend complex was designed with inspiration from the image of a one-tusked white elephant that accompanied Lady Trieu through many fierce battles. This is also a symbol of strength, intelligence and indomitable spirit, creating a “white spiritual tourism area”, with all the constructions in white.

The perspective of the Huyen Tich Am Tien complex is inspired by the image of the one-tusked white elephant of Ba Trieu.

In addition to the statue of Vairocana Buddha, the project will bring a special highlight with the "Mysterious Village", built to honor the merits of National Hero Trieu Thi Trinh (Ba Trieu), while introducing and promoting indigenous cultural values ​​to domestic and international tourists. Not through a single temple or monument, the story of Ba Trieu will be recreated in a lively space with symbolic works associated with the female general and experiences imbued with the identity of Thanh land, true to the project name "Mysterious Am Tien".

“Huyên Tích Village” covers an area of ​​over 10 hectares, including 5 “themed villages”: Fire, Water, Yin, Metal and White Elephant, with the focal point being the statue of Lady Trieu. Each area tells a story about Lady Trieu. This is a new approach to honoring culture – not only remembering, but also retelling it with contemporary emotions, art and language.

“Legendary Village” consists of 5 areas built to honor Ba Trieu.

There, Fire Village represents the spirit and indomitable fighting spirit, with the central structure being the fire sword - a symbol of indomitable will. The entire space is paved with Bat Trang red bricks, and will be the place where festivals take place to honor the bravery of Lady Trieu. Water Village represents the spirit of quick victory - preparing before each battle of Lady Trieu, with a large lake and embossed white elephant footprints - reminiscent of the mascot that Lady Trieu rode into battle. The space is covered with mist, paved with Bat Trang green bricks, combining traditional craft experiences such as embroidery, printing, lacquer, mother-of-pearl inlay...

Am Village is a space for the sacred call of Ba Trieu. The center is the golden gong. The area is paved with stones simulating sound waves, a space for musical activities, traditional musical instrument making, and folk festivals. Kim Village has a victory theme with the golden square "Golden Plaza", where handicrafts are recreated. This is also an impressive golden exhibition space.

The image of a white elephant - a symbol of strength, intelligence and indomitable spirit - is embedded throughout the project.

At the highest point is Bach Tuong Village – a sacred space with a 70m high white elephant statue – the central symbol in the legend of the female general. Here, visitors can touch the statue, participate in handicraft activities and contemplate in the pure white gravel space.

“Huyên Tích Village” also demonstrates the spirit of connecting with the community by inviting local artisans to create “HISTORY WALL” – a ceramic wall recreating the uprising of Ba Trieu. Along the village route, there are also a series of artworks created by young Vietnamese artists, inspired by folk culture.

The legend of Am Tien carries the mission of honoring and preserving the historical culture that the sages left for future generations.

The project not only honors a historical figure, but also represents a new perspective in preserving and spreading cultural values: retelling the past with modern experiences, so that ancient stories are not only repeated, but lived with today's generation. There, every step of the visitor is not only a journey of discovery , but also a journey to extend the national spirit. True to the mission of the project, is to honor and preserve the cultural and historical values ​​that the sages left for future generations. At the same time, it is also a place for future generations to remember the sages and express their infinite gratitude to the contributions of those who built this land.
