Five million USD upgrade for ancient Vinh citadel moat

The task requires moving out 100 households, dredging the old moat, building a wall along the bank, and building a drainage system and two new moats inside and outside the 6,475ha citadel.

The citadel was built in the shape of a turtle in 1804 using traditional eastern design. It was surrounded by a large moat eight metres wide and deep.

Once the work is finished, the citadel will become a historical and public space for local residents to relax and exercise.
