Ensuring environmental landscape during festivals

Youth volunteer team collects trash and keeps the environment clean during the festival.

With a large amount of waste of all kinds every day, if not handled promptly, it will destroy the beauty, potentially pollute the environment and cause epidemics. Therefore, the Management Board of Hung Temple Historical Site has implemented environmental protection work through organizing sanitation along the roads leading to the temple, vacant lots where tourists often stop, arranging trash bins, preparing means and necessary conditions to better handle the environment during the festival.

Comrade Nguyen Duc Chinh - Head of Environmental Management Department, Center for Environmental Services and Technical Infrastructure, Hung Temple Historical Site said: “From March 1 to the end of March 7 of the lunar calendar, the amount of waste collected was about 40 tons of all kinds. Every day, the center mobilizes about 80 people to participate in environmental sanitation and waste collection. It is estimated that in the next three days, the number of visitors may increase with an estimated amount of nearly 100 tons of waste. The center has planned, assigned tasks, and mobilized about 120 employees/day to ensure environmental sanitation, preserve the green, clean, and beautiful landscape. Thereby contributing to helping visitors have the best experiences when coming to Hung Temple”.

It is known that every day, the staff cleans the environment from around 12am to 5-6am the next morning to be in time to welcome pilgrims in the morning. In addition, the workforce also focuses on protecting the grounds, flower beds, and ornamental plants, and trimming them daily to ensure aesthetics. With a large area and a large amount of work, each staff member and worker determines their responsibilities, aiming to bring a civilized and exemplary festival image to each visitor when they come to Hung Temple. On the roads in the relic site, visual propaganda work on preserving the landscape and environment is deployed throughout through a system of billboards, posters, banners, slogans, etc.

Coming to the Hung Temple Historical Site these days, every visitor can feel the clean and airy space. The roads and paths in the relic site do not have littering, the trees, grass along both sides of the road, and the flower gardens are all trimmed and carefully tended. The tourist attractions in the relic site are all kept clean, ensuring the landscape meets the criteria of green-clean-beautiful.

Although during the festival, many cultural and sports activities were held at many locations, thanks to the good work of environmental protection propaganda, the relic site received support from visitors. People have raised their awareness and responsibility in maintaining public hygiene, joining hands to contribute to building a civilized and polite environment for the relic site.

Staff of the Environmental Services and Technical Infrastructure Center actively collect waste and clean up the environment around the relic site.

“This is the first time I have visited Hung Temple, I found the environment here wonderful, very green - clean - beautiful, the air is fresh. Going from Ha Temple to the temples in the relic complex, I saw the environmental staff actively working, collecting and cleaning the paths. Trash bins are placed in convenient locations for visitors to move around. Preserving the green environment will be a highlight for the Hung Temple Historical Relic Site to attract more and more visitors” - those are the feelings of Mr. Dang Thanh Tung, Bau Bang district, Binh Duong province when coming to Hung Temple on the occasion of Hung King's death anniversary.

Along with the authorities, in recent days, it is impossible not to mention the green volunteer shirts of a large number of youth union members in the province who have actively participated in contributing to keeping the Hung Temple space green - clean - beautiful. During the Hung Temple Festival and the Culture - Tourism Week of the Ancestral Land, the youth volunteer teams with nearly 4,000 youth union members, in addition to participating in incense offering activities, maintaining traffic order and safety, also actively propagated, reminded, and guided vendors and tourists to participate in environmental protection, not to litter, and to dispose of garbage in the right place; directly organized the collection of household waste on main roads, places with many shops or crowded places...

Thereby contributing to raising awareness of tourists as well as businesses in the relic site to join hands in preserving environmental hygiene.
