Central Vietnam: Preserving a Rich Cultural Heritage

Central Vietnam, the curving spine of the S-shaped country, is renowned not only for its breathtaking landscapes but also as the cradle of a rich and ancient culture. This region safeguards countless tangible and intangible cultural heritages, a source of pride for the Vietnamese people. What makes Central Vietnam’s cultural preservation policies so unique that they attract the attention of numerous domestic and international tourists?

A Vibrant Heritage Through the Ages

Speaking about the culture of Central Vietnam, Mr. Nguyen Van A, a folklore researcher, shared: “Central Vietnam’s culture is a fusion of the ancient Champa civilization, the vibrant Dai Viet culture, and the unique cultures of various ethnic minorities. This cultural exchange and adaptation have created the distinct and unique characteristics of Central Vietnam’s culture.”

Indeed, from ancient Champa relics like My Son and Dong Duong Sanctuary to traditional festivals such as boat racing and the Kate Festival of the Cham people, everything embodies the unique cultural identity of Central Vietnam.

Cultural preservation policies in Central Vietnam are more critical than ever in the context of deep international integration. Preserving and promoting traditional cultural values not only contributes to educating the younger generation about their national origins but also holds immense potential for sustainable tourism development.
