A completely new spiritual cultural tourism product, the night tour "Tran Vu Bell", is about to officially launch at Quan Thanh Temple (Ba Dinh District, Hanoi). This is the first live performance program specially designed at a sacred temple of the ancient Thang Long land, promising to bring a unique experience, reviving the golden memories and thousand-year-old cultural values of the Capital.
With a duration of 90 minutes, the night tour "Tran Vu Bell" will be held regularly every week, each night serving about 100 guests. The program is inspired by the traditional festival commemorating the day Saint Huyen Thien Tran Vu descended to bless at Quan Thanh Temple.
Hanoi opens Tran Vu Bell Night Tour, expected to bring visitors a live show combined with listening to stories about the heroic capital land.
Quan Thanh Temple, built during the Ly Dynasty, is one of the four sacred temples guarding the four directions of the ancient Thang Long citadel, known as "Thang Long Tu Tran". Currently, the temple is located at the corner of Thanh Nien Street and Quan Thanh Street, overlooking West Lake, worshiping Huyen Thien Tran Vu - the god guarding the North, protecting agricultural residents.
Cultural and spiritual tourism products combined with live performances are held at Quan Thanh Temple, one of the famous "Thang Long Tu Tran" in Hanoi.
"Tran Vu Bell" is not simply a performance, but a visual journey rich in traditional materials, hoping to revive memories of a land "converging the sacred spiritual energy of the capital".
Tourists experiencing the night tour can also visit and learn about spaces of tea ceremony, calligraphy, bronzeware, ancient costumes; and shop for souvenirs associated with Quan Thanh Temple.
The program will vividly recreate stories associated with Truc Bach silk weaving village - where Trinh court ladies used to weave brocade for the king, or Ngu Xa bronze casting village - famous for its exquisite bronze works. Through this, visitors will gain a deeper understanding of the land of the thousand-year-old capital, where cultural values and traditional crafts have been preserved for generations.
The 90-minute program is held weekly and is expected to welcome guests from August with about 100 guests each time.
In particular, the program also takes viewers into a sacred artistic space, where the temple's silent bells echo, creating a mysterious and tranquil atmosphere. Through a lively and intimate stage language, the thousand-year-old cultural values of Thang Long are recounted in an engaging way, aiming at the goal of developing sustainable tourism associated with cultural depth.
Inspired by the traditional festival celebrating the day Saint Huyen Thien Tran Vu descended to bless, held annually at the temple, the Tran Vu Bell Night Tour takes visitors back to the past, immersing them in the space of folk culture and long-standing beliefs.
The night tour "Tran Vu Bell" is a product developed by the People's Committee of Ba Dinh District and the Management Board of the special national relic of Quan Thanh Temple in close coordination with researchers and travel agencies. In addition to the purpose of preserving and promoting heritage values, the program is also expected to strongly promote the tourism and economic development of Ba Dinh District in particular and Hanoi Capital in general.
''Tran Vu Bell'' promises to become a new highlight in the journey to explore Hanoi at night.
With the launch of "Tran Vu Bell", Hanoi's night tourism products will become increasingly diverse and rich. Previously, many other night tours at famous relics such as Hoa Lo Prison, Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam, Thang Long Imperial Citadel have left a deep impression on visitors. "Tran Vu Bell" promises to continue the success, bringing a new attractive option, inviting visitors to explore the mysterious beauty and cultural depth of the Capital when night falls.
