Northern Vietnam – a land of a thousand years of civilization, where invaluable historical and cultural values of the nation are preserved. ContinuingTHE OPERATION JOURNEY IN CENTRAL VIETNAM WITH STAR GLOBAL - 3D/360 Interactive Web/App Solutions,Star Global collaborates with the Department of Tourism of Ho Chi Minh City, continuing to leave a mark on the cultural map of Vietnam through the digitization project of typical heritage in the North.
Pioneering the application of technology3D/360 maps, we not only contribute to preserving heritage but also bring those values closer to the domestic community and international friends. This is not just a technology project, but a journey of the heart – a journey to mark, revive, and spread the thousand-year memory of the nation on a modern digital platform.
Phu Tho – The Cradle of the Nation, The Sacred Land of the Ancestors
Team Star Global - Historical site of Hung Temple (Phu Tho)
Phu Tho – a sacred land, the origin of the Vietnamese nation with the familiar verse:
“No matter who goes back and forth
Remember the day of the Ancestor's Death on the tenth day of the third month”
In this operational trip, Star Global along with the Department of Tourism of Ho Chi Minh City has set foot in the Hung Temple historical site – a place that preserves the respect and pride of the nation. We carefully recorded each ancient stone step leading to the peak of Nghia Linh, each row of green trees casting shadows, and each wisp of incense smoke wafting at the Upper Temple.
With 3D/360 technology, the images of Hung Temple have been digitized vividly and realistically.From ancient architecture and sacred spaces to distinctive details like bronze drums, everything is vividly recreated. Every angle, every image contributes to preserving and spreading traditional values, so that these cultural symbols can endure over time and come closer to every generation.
We are not just digitizing spaces, but also preserving spiritual connections. So no matter where you are, with just a touch, you can return to your roots, lighting a stick of incense in memory of the Hung Kings in an emotionally rich digital space.
Yen Bai – The Golden Season on the Terraced Fields
Team Star Global - Mu Cang Chai, the Dinosaur's Backbone (Yen Bai)
From Phu Tho, the journey continues to Yen Bai – where the golden color of ripe rice stretches across the mountain slopes, painting a brilliant harvest scene. Mu Cang Chai – the "paradise of terraced fields" in the Northwest – has appeared in our lens with unforgettable beauty.
A 360-degree drone captures every soft curve of the winding rice fields hugging the mountainside, the simple stilt houses, and the image of locals carrying rice under the bright golden sun. Thanks to digitization technology, viewers feel as if they are truly stepping into the harvest season, smelling the fresh rice, and hearing the joyful laughter of the local people.
Not only focusing on the landscape, we also capture the unique cultural features of the Mong and Thai ethnic groups through traditional costumes and simple yet culturally rich festivals, all vividly recreated in a 3D/360 space.
Bac Kan – The Enigmatic Ba Be Lake and the Mysterious Fairy Cave
Team Star Global - Ba Be Lake (Bac Kan)
Bac Kan – the land of crystal-clear lakes and majestic mountains. Ba Be Lake – one of the largest natural freshwater lakes in Vietnam – appears in a 3D/360 space that is both peaceful and magnificent.
A low-flying drone captures the lake's surface, calm as a mirror, with wooden boats gliding gently by, and flocks of birds soaring in the clear sky. Standing before this scene, everyone can feel the rare, poetic, and pristine beauty.
Team Star Global - Fairy Cave (Bac Kan)
Not just stopping at the lake, our journey continues toFairy Cave– a prominent national heritage site of Bac Kan. Stepping into the cave, the whole group feels as if they have entered another world: shimmering stalactites hang down, forming countless shapes like statues intricately carved by the hands of nature. Legend has it that this was once a place where fairies descended to play and left behind a mysterious beauty for generations to come.
With 3D/360 digitization technology, every nook and cranny of Fairy Cave is captured in detail, recreating its enchanting beauty, allowing visitors to easily explore the wondrous underground space from anywhere.
Bac Kan is not only about landscapes but also preserves lakeside villages, bustling markets, and the simple lives of the Tay and Dao people – all carefully digitized by Star Global and the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, so that every cultural value here lives on in the digital space.

The next stop isKeo Hanh Thien Pagoda, one of the typical ancient pagodas in Northern Vietnam. This over 400-year-old pagoda stands out with its entirely wooden architecture, moss-covered tiled roof, and intricately carved patterns that have been preserved almost intact.
The digitization team of Star Global meticulously recorded each sturdy lim wood column, each carved dragon and phoenix pattern, every courtyard, and the ancient pagoda roof, providing a realistic experience as if stepping through the three-arch gate into the tranquil Buddhist space. Keo Pagoda is not only a place of worship but also a unique architectural cultural symbol of Nam Định.
