At Ngu Cau Communal House, local officials and site managers are updating digital content to make the site more engaging. Visitors can scan a QR code to access historical information, images and audio guides.

Nguyen Ngoc Linh, a resident of Ngu Cau Village in An Khanh Community, Ha Noi, said: "We can simply scan a QR code with our phones to view the entire site, listen to the audio guide and learn detailed stories about the village's history."

The digital map at ankhanh360.vn brings heritage information together on one platform. Visitors can explore sites through 360-degree virtual tours, including areas with restricted physical access. At La Phu Communal House, 3D technology has also recreated distinctive 19th-century architecture from the Nguyen Dynasty.

Pham Quang Hai, a member of La Phu Communal House Management Board in An Khanh Community, Ha Noi, said: "We find that visitors can access information much more quickly and accurately."

Digital platforms also help local authorities share heritage information with wider audiences.

Ngo Thi Men, a member of the Official, Culture & Social Affairs Division in An Khanh Community, Ha Noi, said: "With just one click, we can share information with residents through village Zalo groups, and even reach friends across Viet Nam and internationally."

An Khanh has digitized 45 historical sites and plans to expand the program.

Ta Thu, Deputy Head of the Culture & Social Affairs Division in An Khanh Commune, Ha Noi, said: "We will focus on developing 360-degree digitization for nationally recognized heritage sites in the area, and continue digitizing city-level sites as well."

These efforts are helping preserve Ha Noi's cultural treasures while making traditional heritage more accessible to audiences at home and abroad.
