The site also honours other Kings of the Le dynasty and Le Lai, who rendered an outstanding merit to the nation at the time.
Addressing the event, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan said the recognition reflects today generations’ tribute to the predecessors who dedicated their lives to national independence.

He said he believes Thanh Hoa will stand united and raise public awareness of conserving cultural heritages while developing local tourism with a view to popularising its images both at home and abroad.
