"Cultural ambassadors" at Hung Temple

Although it is not yet the main festival, the number of tourists flocking to the Hung Temple Historical Relic Site these days is quite large. This is the time when the work of the interpreters and guides at the Hung Temple Historical Relic Site begins to get harder, but everyone is aware of their responsibility for the assigned work. Not only introducing and conveying information to help tourists understand the cultural values ​​of the Ancestral Land, but also contributing to building the image of the friendly and hospitable people of the Ancestral Land, creating a good impression for each tourist when returning to the origin of the nation.

Staff of the Department of Monuments, Culture and Festivals Management, Hung Temple Historical Site, introduce to visitors the legend of Mother Au Co at Ha Temple.

Guiding a group of tourists from the BNI Vietnam Business Connection Organization to offer incense at Hung Temple in the middle of the second lunar month, Ms. Nguyen Thi Van Anh - Department of Monuments, Culture and Festivals Management, gracefully dressed in a traditional ao dai, gently conveyed information about cultural and historical values ​​and was ready to answer questions from tourists related to the communal house and temple relics or artifacts still preserved at the Hung King Museum, helping tourists to broaden their understanding of the history and culture of the country.

Ms. Van Anh shared: To guide tourists when they come to Hung Temple, each officer like us must be fully equipped with knowledge of history, culture of the Hung King era, the worship of Hung King as well as the history of relics and antiquities displayed at Hung Temple to answer questions for tourists. At the same time, each person must have the skills of a tour guide.

Staff of the Department of Monuments, Culture and Festivals Management introduce Hung King Tomb to tourists.

Lawyer Pham Thanh Long - Head of the delegation of BNI Vietnam Business Connection Organization to offer incense at Hung Temple informed: The delegation of BNI Business Connection Organization today has nearly 100 people. Our feeling when coming here is that Hung Temple is very green, clean, and beautiful. The tour guides are very enthusiastic, helping us understand more deeply about the Hung King era as well as the Hung Kings, the ancestors who contributed to building the country.

Students listen to officers from the Department of Monuments, Culture and Festivals Management introduce the bronze drums on display at the Hung Kings Museum and Hung Kings Temple Historical Site.

Not only guiding and explaining to groups of visitors, the guides of the Relic Site also guide and explain to students, domestic and international tourists. This job not only requires perseverance in learning and improving skills but also love and passion to truly become "ambassadors" bringing the cultural values ​​of the Hung King era to tourists.

The tour guide and interpreter team of the Department of Monument, Culture and Festival Management of the Hung Temple Historical Relic Site currently has over 30 people, all of whom are civil servants and have a university degree or higher. These are people who not only have in-depth knowledge of the Hung King era in general but also have specific knowledge of each detail and architectural line of the Hung Temple Historical Relic Site complex; the formation characteristics, significance, historical and cultural values ​​of each place and space here.

For example, when talking about the Temple Gate of Hung Temple, the tour guides not only remember the construction time in the second year of Khai Dinh (1917) but also have to know that the architectural structure of the gate is built in the style of an 8.5m high arch, two floors with 8 roofs, covered with imitation tubular tiles, in the middle of the first floor there is a large inscription "Cao Son Canh Hanh" meaning "climbing high mountains to see far and wide".

Coming to Ha Temple, we must convey the origin story of the "compatriots" associated with the legend of Mother Au Co giving birth to a sac of 100 eggs, which later hatched into 100 sons originating from here. Just like that, following hundreds of stone steps, going up nearly 175m to Nghia Linh peak, hundreds of stories of historical and cultural relics and sites are skillfully conveyed by tour guides to visitors from all over the world.
