Nhan Dan Newspaper launches "Love Vietnam So Much" project in Dong Nai

Teacher Tran Thi Bich Phuong checks in at the NFC chip-enabled board of the "Love Vietnam So Much" project by Nhan Dan Newspaper at the Nguyen Huu Canh Temple Relic Site.

The "Love Vietnam So Much" project, implemented by Nhan Dan Newspaper in collaboration with technology partners, has been deployed across provinces and cities nationwide to mark the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and Reunification of the Country (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025) and to promote and publicise historical and cultural landmarks across Vietnam, contributing to the development of tourism in the country.

After receiving approval from the Provincial Party Committee and the People's Committee of Dong Nai Province, the Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of Dong Nai Province introduced the installation at three locations: Nguyen Huu Canh Temple Relic Site, Tran Bien Literature Temple, and Dong Nai Nature and Cultural Conservation Area.

At these sites, visitors only need to place their smartphone with an internet connection close to the NFC chip-enabled board as instructed. The screen will automatically link to the "Love Vietnam So Much" website.

The destination number where the visitor has checked in will appear, and visitors can upload their photos and leave messages. They can also view the places they have visited as well as information about those locations.

At the Nguyen Huu Canh Temple Relic Site, after the installation of the NFC chip-enabled board, many visitors came to experience it.

During the project's implementation, Ms Le Thi Ngoc Loan, Director of the Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of Dong Nai, directed relevant departments to create favourable conditions, working with Nhan Dan Newspaper to choose the most suitable locations for installing the NFC chip-enabled boards so that visitors could easily access them at the Nguyen Huu Canh Temple Relic Site and Tran Bien Literature Temple.

Similarly, at the Dong Nai Nature and Cultural Conservation Area, Director Nguyen Hoang Hao also facilitated the best conditions for installing the device and implementing the project.

At the Nguyen Huu Canh Temple Relic Site, on the morning of March 25th, after the installation of the NFC chip-enabled board, many visitors came to experience it.

One of the first to check in, teacher Tran Thi Bich Phuong from Hoa Mai Kindergarten, Bien Hoa City, shared: "I think this kind of check-in is very modern and convenient to get more information about the relic through a digital experience. Through this, I also learn more about the values of the relic, which serves my daily work."

Similarly, at the Tran Bien Literature Temple, the newly installed NFC chip-enabled board attracted a large number of young people who were visiting. Huynh Le Phuong Duyen, a student from the University of Industry and Trade in Ho Chi Minh City, along with a group of students visiting the Tran Bien Literature Temple, used the NFC chip-enabled board to learn more about the relic.

"I think this check-in is very interesting. The device is modern, and installed in an easily observable position. Nowadays, most young people use smartphones, so it is very easy to access the relic through the NFC chip-enabled board like this," Duyen said.

Accompanying us during the installation, Mr Pham Van Minh, Deputy Director of the Dong Nai Museum, said: "The installation of the NFC chip-enabled board as part of the 'Love Vietnam So Much' project by Nhan Dan Newspaper is excellent for promoting and communicating the values of the relic to the people and tourists, especially young generations. This device helps us demonstrate the application of digital technology in promoting and advertising, boosting tourism development, and enhancing the values of historical sites."

He also said "For example, Nguyen Huu Canh Temple has attracted many students, and they will experience the relic from a new, modern perspective. This will gradually attract more young people to the relic. This is a meaningful initiative by Nhan Dan Newspaper and should be expanded."

Mr Pham Van Minh also shared that there are currently 71 ranked historical relics in Dong Nai Province, and many other sites are managed by the cultural sector. "We will develop a plan to first install NFC chip-enabled boards at the ranked historical sites, and later expand it to other locations across the province," he added.

The "Love Vietnam So Much" project by Nhan Dan Newspaper inspires patriotism in every citizen, especially the younger generation. At the same time, it promotes historical and cultural landmarks throughout the country, creating a unique experience for visitors, and helping to spread and connect the images of localities widely.
