Dong Nai province always pays special attention to the preservation and promotion of the cultural relic values. Almost relics in the province are directly managed by those who are whole-hearted and enthusiastic in protecting, preserving and promoting the value of cultural relics. One of priority activities of the province is to socialize these tasks. For the past 5 years, a series of relics has been restored in the direction of socialization including Ong pagoda, An Hoa communal house, Dai Giac pagoda, and Binh Quan communal house, etc, with the investment capital worth hundreds of million dong. In the upcoming time, the province plans to restore and embellish such main relics as Cu Thach Hang Gon sepulcher, Long Thien pagoda, Doan Van Cu tomb, and Tan Hiep Jail, etc. with the capital from provincial budget and budget of socialization. In addition, Dong Nai relics and beauty spots management Board also pays attention to performing the training tasks of managing, preserving, restoring relics for competent individuals at the grassroots. Moreover, the socialization activities have raised local residents’ high awareness of relic protection.

Exploring the potentials of relics connected with tourism development is a logical orientation of the protection and promotion of the cultural relic values. Therefore, in the coming time, Dong Nai relics and beauty spots management Board will cooperate with Dong Nai Tourism Promotion Centre and travel units to build tourist sites and tours combined with visits to famous beauty spots and relics such as Dong Nai river-Ong pagoda tour and Nguyen Huu Canh Temple-Tan Trieu pomelo village tour, etc. Thanks to this, the traditional values and the beauty of Dong Nai people will be introduced to all tourists. At the same time, it is also a good way to mobilize more social resources to take part in the protection and promotion of these cultural heritage values.
