The Vu Lam Palace (located in the Trang An-Ninh Binh area) is not only a testament to the ingenuity of the Tran Dynasty's military strategy, but also demonstrates the Tran Dynasty's profound vision in connecting politics, military, culture and religion.
Under the Tran Dynasty, Vu Lam Palace played an important role as a military and political center, closely associated with the resistance war against the Yuan-Mongol army.
Thai Vi Temple (Trang An, Ninh Binh) was built on the foundation of Vu Lam Palace of the Tran Dynasty kings during the second resistance war against the Yuan-Mongol invaders.
On February 27, Ninh Binh Provincial People's Committee coordinated with Tran Nhan Tong Institute (Hanoi National University) to organize the Workshop "Vu Lam Palace in Tran Dynasty - Historical role and orientation for preserving and promoting values".
The workshop was held to celebrate the 1057th anniversary of Dai Co Viet State (968-2025) and the 800th anniversary of the Tran Dynasty (1226-2026).
Mr. Tran Song Tung - Vice Chairman of Ninh Binh Provincial People's Committee said: Ninh Binh was chosen by King Dinh Tien Hoang to build the capital in the 10th century. Later, Ninh Binh continued to affirm its strategic role in the cause of protecting and developing Dai Viet nation.
The workshop "Vu Lam Palace of Tran Dynasty - Historical role and orientation for preservation and promotion of values", organized by Ninh Binh Provincial People's Committee in coordination with Tran Nhan Tong Institute (Hanoi National University) attracted the participation of many experts and historians.
During the second resistance war against the Yuan-Mongol army (1285), the Tran kings chose Trang An to build a resistance base, consolidate forces, train weapons, and store food to prepare for counterattacks against the Yuan-Mongol army.
It was from the Vu Lam Palace in the Trang An-Ninh Binh region that the military strategies of the Tran Dynasty helped the Dai Viet army and people achieve resounding victories.
Vu Lam Palace is not only a testament to the ingenuity of the Tran Dynasty's military strategy, but also demonstrates the Tran Dynasty's profound vision in connecting politics, military, culture and religion.

At the workshop, experts focused on discussing and clarifying the formation process, appearance and role of Vu Lam Palace in the flow of history.
Especially the terrain, traces, and location of Vu Lam palace through archaeological documents and historical and geographical documents.
Vu Lam Palace was initially built as a resort for Emperor Tran Thai Tong to prepare for his religious career.
However, when the second invasion of Dai Viet by the Yuan Dynasty was imminent, Vu Lam Palace became the headquarters of the resistance.
The "Stone Sutra" of Nhat Tru Pagoda is located in Nam village, Truong Yen commune, Hoa Lu district (Ninh Binh province), about 150m north of the temple of King Dinh and King Le.
When the entire court temporarily withdrew to Truong Yen, Vu Lam Palace became the place to hold court and protect the safety of the royal family and the court...
Besides, King Tran Thai Tong also built a number of monasteries, which are still preserved today, such as So Pagoda, Thong Pagoda, Kha Luong Pagoda, Khai Phuc Pagoda, and A Nau Pagoda.
Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Quy - Institute of Archaeology affirmed that Vu Lam Palace has its own unique characteristics, completely different from the remaining Tran Dynasty relic system in the North.
There are no monuments of the scale of Thien Truong Palace or Lo Giang Palace here, but only bamboo and wooden architectural works. However, this place has special values in terms of geopolitics - history - religion - culture.
