Perched atop Doi Mountain in Tien Son ward, Ninh Binh province, the Vajra statues at Long Doi Son Pagoda are a rare cultural treasure embodying the historical, religious and artistic values of the Ly Dynasty. In 2024, the statues were officially recognised as a national treasure, affirming their unique place in Vietnam’s cultural heritage.

Home to a rich wealth of both tangible and intangible cultural heritage, Ninh Binh is considered a cradle of northern delta and coastal culture — with nearly 5,000 historical sites and 743 traditional festivals, many of which have been recognised as national or UNESCO-listed heritage.
