General information

The famous temple of Do, located just 25 km northeast of Hanoi, belongs to Dinh Bang village – an area known as a religious and cultural center of Red River Delta. It is a sacred place dedicated to worshipping the first eight emperors of the Ly dynasty – the great Viet kingdom dating back nearly a thousand years.

The architecture reflects the typical model of Northern Vietnam temples, surrounded by a green area covered in trees and fresh air. There will be a great chance to enjoy a typical festival of Northern Vietnam, with a procession ceremony, fighting chicken, wresting, dragon dance, traditional Quan Ho performance and Rice cooking contest.
