Hai Phong to launch night tour of Hang Kenh Temple

Hai Phong is set to launch a new night tour named “Sacred marks of Hang Kenh” in June, part of the northern port city’s efforts to diversify its tourism offerings and promote the development of cultural industries.

The cultural-spiritual tour will take place at Hang Kenh Temple (also known as Kenh Ha Ly Temple), located in Hang Kenh ward of Le Chan district. The site is dedicated to national hero Ngo Quyen, who expelled the Southern Han invaders and reclaimed Vietnam’s independence after over a thousand years of being under the rule of invaders from the North.

The temple, recognised as a national historical and cultural relic site in 1962, hosts an annual traditional festival from the 18th to 20th day of the first lunar month to commemorate Ngo Quyen.

The tour offers visitors spiritual, cultural, and arts experiences, featuring 3D mapping displays and traditional performances. It also blends sacred rituals with modern visual storytelling and folk arts, aiming to showcase the soul of Hai Phong's heritage.

The tour is scheduled to run every weekend from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm with a variety of activities, including temple rituals, traditional music performances, water puppetry, 3D mapping shows, calligraphy, local cuisine tasting, and handicraft workshops. Each tour session is expected to welcome around 200 guests.

Tran Thi Hoang Mai, Director of the Hai Phong Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said the tour will be piloted first, and if well-received, it will be officially included in Hai Phong’s tourism offerings.
