General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central
Committee and President To Lam attended a groundbreaking ceremony for a project
on conservation, restoration and rehabilitation of Kinh Thien Palace at the
World Heritage Site of Thang Long Imperial Citadel in Hanoi on September 29.
Kinh Thien was the principal palace of the Forbidden City of Thang Long under
the Le Dynasty (1428 -1789). The conservation, restoration and rehabilitation
of Kinh Thien Palace goes beyond recreating an architectural structure. It aims
to gradually restore the central space of the Thang Long Imperial Citadel and
highlight the historical and cultural values of the nation. Photo: Thong Nhat -
