[Article] Preservation plan sought.

May, 28 2010 | Viet Nam News

HA NOI — Ha Noi is now struggling to harmonise the conservation of its heritage with new development projects.
Thang Long Citadel in Ba Dinh District is one of historical places that need preservation. Historians say an archaeological map should be incorporated into the development master plan for Ha Noi to ensure ancient sites are preserved. — VNA/VNS File Photo

Construction of the contentious new road linking Van Cao Street and West Lake has been halted following the unearthing of 1,000-old Ly-Tran and Le dynasty artefacts on Hoang Hoa Tham Street.

"The historical value of the Thang Long citadel is as important as that of the Co Loa citadel built by King An Duong Vuong (about 275BC), which is located in Dong Anh District, some 20km to the north of Ha Noi's centre," said professor Trinh Sinh from the Archaeological Institute.
Professor Vu Van Quan, from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, said construction workers had destroyed a huge part of the old citadel wall.
Road building was halted for three days due to complaints by local residents, but construction work is now continuing.
"It would take archaeologists several months to excavate the site. But the road construction project needs to be completed soon to meet the needs of society," said Nguyen Lan Cuong, deputy general secretary of the Viet Nam Archaeology Association.
The Cultural Heritage Law, first introduced in 2001, was amended and took effect on January 1 this year. It stipulates that construction work must be halted if artefacts of national importance are unearthed and that finds must be reported to the local department of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
