Hanoi (VNA) – A master plan will be built for the temple complex dedicated to Nguyen Binh Khiem, an outstanding Vietnamese scholar in the 15th and 16th centuries, in Vinh Bao district of northern Hai Phong city.

The municipal People’s Committee will design the master plan, which will be submitted to Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc for approval when completed.

Nguyen Binh Khiem (1491 - 1585), also known as Trang Trinh, was born in Trung Am village of Ly Hoc commune, Vinh Bao district.

He was a cultural and educational celebrity, and also a philosopher and poet. He was also called a prophet according to popular belief.

The temple of Nguyen Binh Khiem was recognised as a historical relic site in 1991 and named a relic site of special national importance in late 2015.

The relic complex includes the temple of Nguyen Binh Khiem, the temple of his parents, the tomb of his father, and some other relics relating to Khiem.-VNA
