In July 2025, tourists visiting Hue will have the opportunity to admire the architectural beauty of Ta Tung Tu (Left Temple), a structure within the royal complex of Nguyen Dynasty Emperor Minh Mang that is currently undergoing an extensive restoration process that began in August 2023.
This restoration project commenced on August 11, 2023, and is projected to take approximately two years to complete, with a total budget of 7.2 billion VND (around US$290,000). According to the Hue Relic Preservation Center, funding for the project is being provided by the World Monuments Fund (US$46,000) along with contributions from the center's annual budget for restoration efforts.
Ta Tung Tu is part of a historic complex that includes Huu Tung Tu (Right Temple), Sung An Palace, and Hien Duc Mon, which once served as the residence for Emperor Minh Mang, his empress, and other high-ranking officials. Built in 1843, the temple has suffered significant damage from war, time, and weather, making preservation necessary. The goal of this project is to revitalize the site, enabling both local residents and tourists to appreciate the exquisite design of the temple and the entire complex, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for history.
