HA NOI (VNS)— A plan to preserve the Luy Lau Citadel is being devised up by the northern province of Bac Ninh's Department of Cuture, Sports and Tourism.

The two-month project will be implemented in 2014 to restore the seriously degraded Phi Tuong Pagoda and Sy Nhiep Temple. The citadel was recognised as a national relic site in 1964, and is home to many valuable objects.

The area around the site is being used by local residents for agricultural purposes.
