The 90-minute tour is inspired by a traditional festival held at the temple that celebrates the arrival of Saint Huyen Thien Tran Vu, who is believed to bestow blessings. It is designed to guide visitors on a mystical journey rich in folklore and the enduring spiritual beliefs of the Vietnamese people.
The program features live performances that aim to revive the spirit of a sacred land believed to embody the essence of the ancient capital. Highlights include stories connected to traditional craft villages such as Truc Bach, where Trinh dynasty maidens once wove silk for the royal court, and Ngu Xa, a bronze casting village famed for its intricate artifacts—some of which are still preserved at the temple. Through expressive theatrical storytelling, the tour brings to life the thousand-year-old cultural heritage of Thang Long in a relatable, vivid, and humanistic way.
In addition to the night tour, the Management Board of the Quan Thanh Temple Relic Site will organize a wide range of cultural and experiential activities. Visitors can engage with calligraphy art, explore traditional attire, and immerse themselves in ancient Lunar New Year customs and the scholarly ambiance of Confucian-era examinations.

After experiencing the tour, Nguyen Tien Dat, General Director of AZA Travel Co., Ltd., said, “The Management Board has clearly put great effort into building this tour. As a travel agency representative, I hope the organizers will soon provide information on ticket prices, schedules, and other details.”
The program is part of the activities commemorating the 64th anniversary of the founding of Ba Dinh District (May 31, 1961 – 2025) and the establishment of the Ba Dinh District Party Committee (June 9, 1961 – 2025).
