Hanoi to spend over $77mn restoring Kinh Thien Palace

The capital city decided to review historical structures citywide and set aside funding to preserve these ancient buildings and promote their value, according to the steering board for urban embellishment and development in the 2021-25 period.

The Kinh Thien Palace was built in 1428 during the reign of King Le Thai To, but it was completed in the reign of King Le Thanh Tong.

This is the main relic site among others at the Thang Long Imperial Citadel in Hanoi.

Apart from the Kinh Thien Palace, the city will restore many other historical and cultural structures such as the Vietnam Military History Museum, the Hoang Dieu Archeological Site, the Long Bien bridge area, and 131 railway arches.

The Vietnamese capital city plans to use VND798 billion ($34.2 million) to rehabilitate the Hoang Dieu Archeological Site, while VND136 billion ($5.8 million) will be earmarked for the Hoang Cung (Palace) exhibition house restoration project, which is located in the Thang Long Imperial Citadel.

In addition, Hanoi intends to restore its legendary Co Loa Citadel in the outlying district of Dong Anh.

Vietnam defeat Laos 2-0 in 2023 SE Asian Games men’s football

The Vietnamese, who won the gold medal in men’s football at the delayed 2021 SE Asian Games organized in Hanoi in May 2022, were expected to have an easy game, but they faced strong resistance from their Lao opponents and sometimes stayed in a deadlock at Prince Stadium in Phnom Penh. The junior Golden Stars got off to a great start in the second minute when Nguyen Van Tung headed the ball past Lao goalkeeper Solasak Thilavong into the net, following a good cross from Nguyen Thanh Nhan from the right side.
