Create a unique tourism product

(Baothanhhoa.vn) - Thanh Hoa has 1,535 historical and cultural relics, many of which have been honored as world cultural heritages and special national relics. Such honors not only affirm the stature of the relics but also open up "opportunities" for localities to develop diverse tourism products, attracting visitors to visit and explore.

Tourists visit Lam Kinh National Special Relic Site.

In the middle of an open space, filled with sunshine and wind and shaded by green trees, Lam Kinh National Special Relic Site appears as beautiful as a watercolor painting. Up to now, after 13 years of being recognized as a special national relic site, Lam Kinh has not only "revived" in appearance, with extremely unique architectural works, the most in Thanh Hoa, but in recent years, the relic site's management board has also continuously developed a variety of new tourism products to attract visitors to visit and explore.

Therefore, when coming to Lam Kinh, tourists can not only visit architectural works such as the main gate, dragon yard, main hall, temples...; visit the resting place of kings, queen mothers, and queen mothers of the Le So dynasty, but also discover fascinating "mysterious" stories and experience attractive green tourism products in Lam Kinh.

First, through the fascinating stories of the tour guides, visitors will discover the story of the "sacrificing lim tree". This is an ancient lim tree, believed to have lived for about 600 years. At the time the Lam Kinh main hall restoration project was approved, the tree lost its leaves and died in an unusual way. Therefore, many people believe that the lim tree "sacrificed itself" to help restore the main hall, especially the use of the tree trunk to make some other items in the project. Next, visitors will hear the story of the extremely mysterious "laughing guava tree". This special guava tree is located on the right side of the tomb of King Le Thai To, with a wide canopy that curves in the shape of a dragon, exuding a seductive fragrance when the fruit is ripe. The special thing about the guava tree is that when visitors gently rub the tree trunk, the leaves will shake as if they are laughing. When visitors hold their hands on the guava tree branches and close their eyes to meditate, they will feel light and relaxed, as if a stream of energy is transmitted through the guava tree into their body... These extremely mysterious things have stimulated curiosity and created the attraction for tourists to Lam Kinh.

In addition, there are over 100 hectares of natural forest and about 300 - 400 species of plants, including up to 80 species of precious wood such as ironwood, lat, doi and many precious medicinal herbs. In recent times, the relic site management board has actively built Lam Kinh into a green destination that attracts tourists. At the same time, it aims to exploit destinations in Lam Kinh associated with neighboring relics to increase the attractiveness of the destination. The most prominent are some tours such as: Ancient Citadel Palace; Lam Kinh - the land of spiritual origin; Lam Kinh - sacred heritage land...

Ho Dynasty Citadel is located in Tay Do commune, once considered the capital, cultural, political and social center of Dai Ngu country under the Ho Dynasty. After more than 600 years with many historical events, the citadel still retains its value and was recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage in 2011. Since Ho Dynasty Citadel was recognized as a world cultural heritage, Ho Dynasty Citadel Heritage Conservation Center has built many attractive tourism products for visitors such as displaying "Outdoor artifacts", "Agricultural space of Tay Do region", with the purpose of displaying and introducing to visitors the stone artifacts excavated in the citadel area, especially the stone foundations and palace decoration materials; traditional farming tools... In particular, the center also includes relics in the buffer zone in the tour program at Ho Dynasty Citadel heritage by building 4 tour routes: Ho Dynasty Citadel - to the heritage area; Ho Dynasty Citadel - traditional villages; Ho Dynasty Citadel - the spirituality of the buffer zone; Ho Dynasty Citadel - relic and scenic spot in the buffer zone.

Thanh Hoa is proud to have many relics honored as World Cultural Heritage and special national relics such as: Ho Dynasty Citadel, Lam Kinh Special National Relic Site, Ba Trieu Temple Historical, Cultural and Architectural Relic Site, Con Moong Cave and surrounding relics, Sam Son Historical and Scenic Relic Site, Le Hoan Temple... In order for the relics after being honored to increasingly promote their value, becoming attractive destinations, in recent years, the provincial culture, sports and tourism sector has focused on investing, embellishing and innovating, diversifying cultural tourism products associated with connecting tours and tourist routes inside and outside the province to bring many experiences to visitors. In addition, many relics have focused on building a team of professional tour guides to meet the needs of visitors... Thereby, contributing to promoting and spreading the cultural and historical values of Thanh Hoa to a large number of friends and visitors.
