Information

Location: Tran Hung Dao Temple is seated on an ancient silt bank in Yen Giang Commune, Yen Hung District, Quang Ninh Province, next to the Bach Dang River.
Characteristics: It is situated on the site where Tran Hung Dao won the great victory of Bach Dang in 1288, the witnesses of which were the wooden stakes submerged in the water.



 

The temple is built according to the Chinese character "dinh" (J). Its Front Ceremonial Hall has three compartments, and its Back Ceremonies Hall comprises two compartments, and a Back Sanctuary. The remaining artefacts in the temple are a few parallel sentence boards praising the hero, eight finely engraved gongs and four royal decrees from Nguyen Emperors delivered to the wardens of the temple.

The ritual festivities of Tran Hung Dao Temple take place yearly on the eighth day of the third lunar month.
