On September 20, the location known as the "Kong: Skull Island" Film Studio located in the Trang An eco-tourism area will be officially dismantled. This decision was made on September 18 according to Notice No. 38-2019/TB-HC of Trang An Investment, Trade and Service Co., Ltd. (Ninh Binh). It is known that UNESCO is the agency that made the above recommendation to ensure sustainable development for the entire region.
Thus, the "Kong: Skull Island" film set will be removed from the second and third sightseeing routes of Trang An eco-tourism area. This is a pity for a part of tourists, especially international tourists because this place has been one of the most visited places since its opening in 2017.

The set of "Kong: Skull Island" was built with the background of a wild indigenous village. The area includes 34 pointed huts like the homes of African indigenous people, mainly made of bamboo and many long wooden boats like the boats that indigenous people often use. This place was chosen to serve the filming of the blockbuster movie of the same name.

With a budget of up to 190 million dollars, the film of the same name has created a fever at the world box office. The beautiful landscapes of Ha Long (Quang Binh) and Trang An (Ninh Binh) appear extremely majestic in the battle between humans and monsters. The landscape of the area has captivated millions of audiences and since the film was released, it has attracted a large number of tourists to Trang An to check-in at the film set of "Kong: Skull Island".

Over the past two years, hundreds of thousands of tourists have visited this place. Local people who used to play extras were also hired to dress up as indigenous characters to take pictures with tourists. However, overall, the details of the indigenous village, airplanes and boats are completely out of sync with the context of Trang An eco-tourism area.
Although associated with the name of a blockbuster movie, the set has details that do not fit with the overall ecological area (Photo: @vincenzonapolitano).
The "Kong: Skull Island" film set is located right in the center of Vu Lam palace, an important historical relic of Ninh Binh, and is located in the strictly protected core area of Trang An cultural heritage. Therefore, to ensure the overall image of the entire ecological area, the demolition of the above location is a necessary move.
