We took a stunningtrip to Vạc Village in the western part of the central province of Nghệ An. Vạc Village is just a small quaint village that appears very far away in Dong Hieu, Nghia Dan, Nghe An

From Hồ Chí Minh National Highway passing the Phủ Quỳ area, we turned right and drove straight for dozens of kilometres toward Thái Hòa Town.

I was a little surprised at the appearance of a young urban area rising on the ancient land with offices, residential houses and bustling streets.

On the main road Nguyễn Trãi, we turned onto a street heading to the south named Làng Vạc. We followed that road to the outskirts of the city, passing several kilometres of low and high hills.

Vạc Village is beautiful, with tranquil houses hidden under the shadows of big green trees. Locals seem to be wealthy—they have big, new houses.

I got the feeling that in this thousand-year-old land, generation after generation has led a simple and hard-working life.

Along the road passing a big marshland, we visited Vạc Village Temple, which has been renovated as part of a plan to restore and develop tourism at the ancient relic site.

The temple was built on a high hill site, resting on Rú Giang Mountain and looking over an area of lake and dams.

More than 20 staircases lead to the main temple with ancient style pillars and white stone sculptures of elephants. The complex hosts various temples dedicated to the Hùng kings and Mother Goddess, plus an exhibition hall displaying ancient objects. The man-made structure mingles with green trees to create a solemn and graceful atmosphere.
