Digital transformation in the cultural field, including the digitization of cultural heritage, is considered by the Ninh Binh Department of Culture and Sports as an optimal solution to store, manage, preserve, exploit, promote, and enhance the value of heritage in a sustainable manner as well as bring new forms of tourism to the community.
Enhance the value of heritage
The Hoa Lu Ancient Capital Historical and Cultural Relics Conservation Center is located in the core area of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage of Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex, and is currently preserving and storing about 1,000 artifacts, including 5 national treasures. Ms. Le Thi Bich Thuc, Deputy Director of the Center, said: Implementing the Heritage Digitization Program, the Center has applied VR360 virtual reality technology, using a 3D perspective projection system in the "Dinh-Tien Le Dynasty Cultural Heritage" Exhibition House area to serve the display and promotion of the value of relics and heritage to visitors.
This is a system that uses both documents and relics at the same time, clearly showing the history and unique cultural features of Dai Co Viet State. Each relic, document and sand table model displayed here is associated with stories about the history and culture of the Dinh-Tien Le period. 3D perspective uses lighting techniques, projection mapping technology on the sand table, and media projection on the wall. The main content is to introduce the historical and cultural relic of Hoa Lu Ancient Capital in the space of Trang An World Cultural and Natural Heritage in Ninh Binh, contributing to changing the method of promoting tourism images, enhancing the value of relics and heritage.
In addition, the Hoa Lu Ancient Capital Historical and Cultural Relics Conservation Center has coordinated with relevant units to promote the digitization of artifacts. Artifacts are inventoried, scientifically documented, and software is developed to promote them on Smart Tourism Portals. When artifacts are digitized, they can be quickly promoted to domestic and international tourists, helping to further promote the value of the heritage.
Mr. Hoang Le Nam, a tourist from Hanoi, shared: This time coming to the Hoa Lu Ancient Capital National Special Relic Site, I learned about the heritage in digital space, with many images and information introducing the Relic Site that were very attractive and impressive. In particular, I can scan the QR code to view and listen to the explanations about the relic on the phone screen, which is very convenient and suitable for tourists during the visit.

Ninh Binh has 1,821 relics and scenic spots, including 3 special national relics, 78 national-level relics, 324 provincial-level relics, 5 national treasures and 393 inventoried intangible cultural heritages...
