Covering some 1,600 hectares, the Thanh Long Lake Ecotourism Site is set to contribute to preserving and raising the values of the Con Son-Kiep Bac historical site as well as local socio-economic development.
In a recent visit to Hai Duong, PM Pham Minh Chinh also inspected the area and encouraged the development of the project. He stressed that the project was expected to help promote the Yen Tu-Vinh Nghiem-Con Son-Kiep Bac landscape and relic complex that is seeking UNESCO recognition. Con Son-Kiep Bac has been identified as being a site where forces were trained to fight against the Mongolian invaders during the period of the Tran Dynasty.

At a recent meeting, Hai Duong Chairman Trieu The Hung assigned local departments to work on the project.
According to the committee, they have signed an MoU with the Xuan Truong Company on investment into the Thanh Long Lake Ecotourism Site. The company intended to spend VND20 trillion on the project with some key works including a large pagoda and three towers built on the lake.
"The site is expected to become an ecological and historical site that can attract both domestic and foreign visitors," the committee said in their proposal.
