Con Son - Kiep Bac Relic Area

About this location

Con Son - Kiep Bac - A region of historical, spiritual heritage and landscapes in the East The Con Son - Kiep Bac relic area is located in Tran Hung Dao ward, Hai Phong city, comprising a system of historical sites and scenic spots associated with Truc Lam Zen Buddhism, the Tran Dynasty history, and national historical figures. Two typical areas are Con Son Pagoda at the foot of Ky Lan Mountain and Kiep Bac Temple in the Dragon Mountain valley, alongside the Luc Dau River. Con Son is associated with the three patriarchs of the Truc Lam Zen sect, Nguyen Trai, and many traces of Buddhist culture; Kiep Bac is where Tran Hung Dao established his headquarters, commanded the resistance war against the Nguyen-Mong invaders, and where people built a temple in his honor. The combination of ancient architecture, mountains, forests, streams, valleys, and rivers creates multiple layers of cinematic space: from solemn ceremonial scenes, marching routes, and military bases to deeply textured natural frames. Suitable settings for historical films, war-historical dramas, period dramas, psychological-drama films, historical documentaries, cultural-religious films, and works promoting heritage and tourism.
