Twelve sites in the capital have officially received decisions recognizing them as historical-cultural relics and scenic sites. The classification was issued by the Hanoi People's Committee.

The list of the 12 newly recognized sites includes: Giang Chinh Communal House Historical-Cultural Relic, Chuong My Ward; Giang Le Communal House and Shrine Historical-Cultural Relic, Chuong My Ward; Nghia Lo Shrine Historical-Cultural Relic, Phuc Loc Commune; Nghia Lo Pagoda (Canh Linh Pagoda) Historical-Cultural Relic, Phuc Loc Commune; Kim Giang Pagoda (Nghiem Thang Pagoda) Historical-Cultural Relic, Ung Hoa Commune;

Following their recognition, the People's Committees of Chuong My Ward, Phuc Loc Commune, Ung Hoa Commune, and Vat Lai Commune are responsible for publicly announcing the protected areas of the sites; preparing and implementing boundary marker documentation and installation in accordance with their authority and current legal regulations; issuing decisions to establish heritage site management boards; managing the site grounds and spaces, all artifacts associated with the sites, activities related to the protection and promotion of heritage values, and the use of revenues generated by the sites in accordance with regulations.

The localities where these newly recognized sites are located shall, within the scope of their duties and authority, carry out state management of the heritage sites in accordance with the law on cultural heritage.
