HERITAGE STORYTELLING AT NGOA VAN: VTC MULTIMEDIA CORPORATION PIONEERS DIGITAL CULTURE IN THE HEART OF THE SACRED SANCTUARY

On June 16, 2026, the sacred Ngoa Van scenic complex was honored to be selected by VTC Multimedia Corporation, in collaboration with Google and the YouTube platform, as the field coordinate for the thematic workshop "Heritage Storytelling". The event not only opened up breakthrough solutions for the digital content creation industry and technological copyright protection but also affirmed the position of Ngoa Van Zen Village - a place that converges and inspires cultural and heritage values to shine in the digital era. 

Why is Ngoa Van Zen Village the "Sanctuary" that inspires cultural content creation?

The fact that a leading media corporation like VTC, along with multinational conglomerates like Google and YouTube, chose Ngoa Van as a field location demonstrates the distinct destination value of this land.

A spiritual milestone and glorious heritage

Ngoa Van is a sacred sanctuary, closely associated with the traces of ascetic practice and Buddhahood attainment of the King - Buddhist Emperor Tran Nhan Tong, the founding patriarch of the Vietnamese Truc Lam Zen Sect. Every inch of soil and blade of grass here is an invaluable "treasury of heritage stories," providing the most authentic and emotionally rich materials for cultural content creators.

An ideal field space at Ngoa Van Zen Village

Away from the hustle and bustle of modern life, Ngoa Van Zen Village possesses a seamlessly connected infrastructure between the pristine natural landscape of myriad clouds and the refined, purely Vietnamese architecture. This place fully meets the criteria:
- Being an ideal natural studio for cinematic footage and short videos breathing the life of heritage.
- A tranquil seminar space, stimulating in-depth thinking and breakthrough creative ideas.
- An ideal stopover to combine technology training and the experience of Body - Mind - Spirit balance.

A stepping stone for the "Touch Vietnam 2026" contest

Also within the framework of the program, the Organizing Committee expects that the practical experiences at Ngoa Van will be a great source of inspiration for the video creation contest "Touch Vietnam 2026" (taking place from June 6 to July 5, 2026, on the website chamvietnam.vtc.vn). The contest is open to all citizens domestic and abroad to spread the image, people, and cultural beauty of Vietnam across the global digital space.

The field trip by VTC, Google, and YouTube has concluded, but the positive energy from Ngoa Van Zen Village has promptly touched the minds of the new generation of media professionals. Ngoa Van Zen Village is not only a place to preserve the past, but is becoming a modern launchpad, accompanying technology organizations to elevate Vietnamese heritage stories to the world. We cordially invite you to come to Ngoa Van to experience it for yourself and seek endless sources of inspiration of your own!
