Vietnam’s Ancient Lam Kinh Citadel Beckons

via VNA/Vietnam Plus, 08 Nov 2023: Thanh Hoa province is leveraging the Lam Kinh special national relic site, a historical landmark linked to the revered Le Loi and the Later Le Dynasty, to boost tourism. With a focus on preserving its integrity through smart technologies and comprehensive management strategies, the site aims to become a hub for historical research and education, while drawing both domestic and international visitors.

The central province of Thanh Hoa has great potential for tourism development thanks to a large number of cultural and historical relic sites, including Lam Kinh, which was recognised as a special national relic site in 2012.

Located in Tho Xuan district, Lam Kinh is the homeland of Later Le Dynasty, the birthplace of National Hero Le Loi and the site marking the start of Lam Son Uprising to fight Ming invaders in the early 15th century.

After Le Loi (King Le Thai To) came to the throne and moved the capital to Dong Kinh (or Thang Long), he had the second biggest citadel built in his native land, Lam Son. The citadel is known as Lam Kinh, or Tay Kinh Citadel.
