Hoành Sơn Temple needs to be "saved" soon.

(Baonghean.vn) - Hoanh Son Temple in Hamlet 4, Khanh Son Commune, Nam Dan District, built 291 years ago, is considered one of the two temples with unique sculptural art in Vietnam and is also a unique and attractive tourist destination. Every year, many tourists from all over the country come to visit the temple. However, this national cultural heritage site is seriously deteriorating over time.

In 2002, the Nghe An Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism organized the renovation of the communal house, but after a short time, the communal house continued to deteriorate. The roof on both sides showed signs of decay and was gradually collapsing, the walls were cracked everywhere, the main pillars of the communal house were infested with termites, and the roof tiles were falling off and breaking into many pieces.

DistrictMaleThe Kim Lien Historical Site and many other historical and scenic complexes are striving for rapid tourism development. However, allowing a valuable heritage site like Hoanh Son communal house to deteriorate over a long period without prompt attention to "save" it seems that this goal lacks a "comprehensive" approach.
