“We hope the contest will inspire pride, love for the homeland and raise awareness of heritage values among the student community, who will continue to preserve and spread national culture,” Mr. Linh shared.
The contest “I am a Heritage Guide of my hometown” is also an effective experimental model in applying digital platforms such as TikTok to heritage education activities, while contributing to promoting the image of the Ho Dynasty Citadel relic to the domestic and international communities.
Built in 1397 under the reign of King Ho Quy Ly, the Ho Dynasty Citadel is one of the few remaining stone citadels in Southeast Asia. The structure is considered an architectural marvel of the 14th century, with large stone blocks weighing tens of tons firmly assembled without the need for adhesives.
In 2011, the Ho Dynasty Citadel was officially recognized by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage, thanks to its outstanding global value in urban planning, stone construction techniques and historical significance. This is now a typical destination in the journey to explore the cultural heritage of Thanh Hoa.
