It aims to highlight Bac Ninh’s tourism potential and cultural strengths, while attracting investment in infrastructure and developing distinctive spiritual and ecological tourism products.
The documentary will showcase the historical, cultural, and spiritual values of Truc Lam Zen Buddhism through both tangible and intangible heritage sites.
These include Vinh Nghiem, Cao and Minh Duc pagodas; Suoi Mo ecological site; Than Nong temple; Son Thap and Yen Ma pagodas; and Tay Yen Tu – Chua Dong tourism complex. It will also feature traditional festivals, customs, and rituals that embody the spiritual heritage of the region.
With a runtime of 8–10 minutes, the film will be produced with high-quality visuals (4K, drone footage and 3D graphics), bilingual Vietnamese-English narration, and a soundtrack blending traditional and modern music.
Once completed, the documentary will be broadcast on national and local television channels, promoted at international tourism fairs, and distributed on digital platforms. The project is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2025.
