Inauguration of Cao Quy stake field conservation area

The project to build the Road to Cao Quy Stake Beach Conservation Area in Lien Khe Commune, Thuy Nguyen, Hai Phong was inaugurated on the afternoon of October 13 with the participation of Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc. The total area of ​​the conservation area is 3 hectares and the 3,488 km long road with an investment of 362.5 billion VND was completed after 5 months of construction.

Cao Quy stake field is a city-level relic, discovered by chance in October 2019. While gardening, a man in Lien Khe commune discovered two wooden stakes more than 3 meters long and more than 30 centimeters in diameter. Immediately after that, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism excavated nearly 1,000 m²in the area and discovered 27 wooden stakes buried 50-60 cm underground.

Archaeological research results show that the Cao Quy stake field dates back to the late 13th century, possibly related to the Tran Dynasty's campaign to intercept and destroy the Mongol fleet on its retreat in 1288.

In the Conservation Area, only 18 wooden stakes were opened after being waterproofed and soaked in water. The remaining stakes were filled with soil and replaced with open-air replicas. This is a way to preserve the wooden stakes intact, serving the future research expansion process of the Institute of Archaeology, clarifying more about the heroic Bach Dang battlefield.

Along with Bach Dang River, Cao Quy stake field will become an important historical and cultural relic site in the process of preserving and fostering national spiritual values ​​over time.

Beautiful bottle.
