The northern mountainous province of Tuyen Quang has decided to invest 95 billion VND, including 90 billion VND from the central budget and 5 billion VND from the local budget, in implementing the project of preserving, renovating, restoring and promoting the value of the special national historical relic of Tan Trao.

In 2023, Tuyen Quang strives to attract more than 2.5 million visitors, earning a revenue of 3,000 billion VND./.
