According to Ms. Hoai, the temporary suspension is to ensure safety for tourists and create favorable conditions for the construction unit.

"Currently, the relic is undergoing restoration and the construction is messy, making it difficult to meet the needs and ensure the safety of visitors. Although it is temporarily closed, if visitors want to visit, the management board will still welcome them for free," said Ms. Hoai.
