More than 100 domestic and foreign researchers, architectures and experts gathered at an international seminar on the research and restoration of the Can Chanh Palace (Hue Royal Citadel) in the former imperial Hue city on Aug. 13.

The seminar is part of a cooperation programme between the Hue Imperial Relics Preservation Centre (HIRPC) and the Japanese Waseda University’s UNESCO World Heritage Institute.

“This is the third time the HIRPC has held such a seminar to introduce the results of the programme’s activities as well as research results to serve the Can Chanh Palace restoration project,” said its Director Phung Phu.

The first seminar took place in Hue city in 1997 and the second in Hanoi in 2006, he added.

The programme, which was carried out since 1994, is designed to conduct comprehensive research on Hue relics and provide scientific foundations for sustainable preservation and restoration of these relics, including the Can Chanh Palace.

The Thua Thien-Hue Provincial Central Committee is proposing the Japanese Government to provide non-refundable official development assistance (ODA) capital to the Can Chanh Palace restoration project for the 2010-2015 period.

10 special national historical sites announced

A list of 10 special national treasures nationwide has been announced, according to a decision of the Prime Minister.

They include archaeological and historical sites such as the Hoang Thanh Thang Long – Hanoi central area in Ba Dinh district in Hanoi, the Hue Ancient Capital, and similar architectural complexes in Huong Tra, Huong Thuy, Phu Vang and Phu Loc districts in the central province of Thua Thien – Hue.

A number of sites important to the history of architecture and design, including the My Son Temple complex, and the Hoi An Ancient Town in the central province of Quang Nam, made the list, as well as national landscapes including Ha Long Bay in the northern province of Quang Ninh and Phong Nha – Ke Bang national park in the central province of Quang Binh.

The remaining four selected historical vestiges are the Hung Temple in the mountainous northern province of Phu Tho, the Ho Chi Minh Memorial Complex at the Presidential Palace in Hanoi, the Dien Bien Phu Battlefield in the mountainous northern province of Dien Bien and the Independence Palace in Ho Chi Minh City.
