Do people in your country enjoy visiting historical places?
Absolutely yes! People love to visit sites of historical significance because those places are incredibly beautiful and breathtaking. For the most part, people can gain a deeper understanding of a country's history by visiting museums, monuments and ancient sites such as the Imperial citadel in Hue, the temple of Literature in Hanoi, and numerous ancient pagodas that scatter the entire country. Tourists and locals alike flock to these places because they always remind us of the ancient people’s wisdom and craft. Therefore, we can learn about our customs, social structure in the past or even help us build a sense of pride and patriotism.
How important is it to protect historical places?
I think it’s hugely/terribly important to conserve and maintain these places because tradition and cultural relics are part of history. Preserving historical sites enriches our culture by connecting us to past eras. People grow old and die, and so inevitably historical events are also in danger of being lost. By keeping such places in good condition, we’re able to recollect important aspects of our culture and ourselves. For example, the gothic churches that are dotted around Hanoi are a stark reminder of our colonial past, and sites of famous military events act as relics of wars that should not be forgotten. Of course, on a more practical level, protecting historical sites also benefits the communities and the national economy by drawing in visitors from all over the world.
What should a government do about this?
There are a wide range of things governments can do to protect historical sites. One model could be taken from the UK’s system of “listing” significant buildings and structures. It is against the law for a listed building to be demolished, extended or altered in anyway. This ensures that historically important places remain intact and unsullied. Another popular tactic is to charge tourists to visit these places, thereby ensuring adequate funding to maintain them. Finally, governments should restore any historical locations that have fallen into disrepair. This is something that Vietnam is currently involved in, as years of past conflict has resulted in the damage of many notable sites.
How can people protect their local historical places?
This is perhaps more challenging because of course individuals have far less leverage than governments when it comes to making things happen. However, I think there are a few things local people can do. One would be to join a volunteer group who care about preserving our community’s recent past places. Additionally, each individual can raise and create awareness of the importance of preserving these invaluable sites by sharing news and links through social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. On top of that, through traveling, we can practice sustainable tourism by respecting local culture and customs and not damaging sites or littering when visiting.
