Pho Hien (Pho Hien special national relic area)

Pho Hien - Hung Yen was once the busiest international trading port in Dang Ngoai in the 16th and 17th centuries, a "little Trang An", "a place of urban prosperity", and also a place of convergence and interference of many cultures. While Thang Long capital had 36 streets, Pho Hien had more than 20 wards and towns, famous for the song "First Kinh Ky, Second Pho Hien". If you have the opportunity to come to Hung Yen, you will be satisfied to experience the Pho Hien Special National Relic Area, to feel the rich and unique historical, cultural, architectural and artistic values, marking the era of "Little Trang An". Furthermore, the beauty of the buildings in the Pho Hien relic complex is also the crystallization and interference between pure Vietnamese architectural style, Chinese architecture and Western-style architecture. The Pho Hien relic complex was recognized as a special national relic in 2014. The Pho Hien special national relic area includes 16 typical relics, which are: Xich Dang Temple of Literature, Bell Pagoda, Mother Temple, Tran Temple, Hien Pagoda, Pho Pagoda, Ne Chau Pagoda, Thien Hau Temple, Vo Mieu, Dong Do Quang Hoi, May Temple, Cuu Thien Huyen Nu Temple, Ba Chua Kho Temple, An Vu Temple, Kim Temple Dang, Nam Hoa temple. The first place you should explore is Mau Temple, right next to Crescent Lake, Bai Say Street, Quang Trung Ward, a historical and cultural relic, an ancient and majestic architectural work, and a sacred destination that tourists often come to. The temple worships Lady Quy Phi of the Duong family, who was hailed as "Mother Nghi Thien Ha" during the Song Dynasty (China), who sacrificed her life to remain faithful to the king and loyal to the country. Here, visitors will be able to freely admire the ancient beauty of the temple and the three-legged tripod position of the three ancient trees Da, Xanh, and Si with more than 700 years of age, making the temple space even more mysterious and sacred. The temple worships Hung Dao Dai Vuong Tran Quoc Tuan - a national hero and a talented politician. He had great contributions in expelling the Mongol army the 2nd and 3rd times. The next discovery point is Xich Dang Temple of Literature in Lam Son Ward, built during the Le dynasty. Xich Dang Temple of Literature is a symbol honoring the studious tradition of Hung Yen people, a place where elites and wisdom gather, expressing the spirit of respect for teachers and virtues of Hung Yen people past and present. Currently, the Temple of Literature still preserves a number of precious artifacts, of which the most valuable are 9 stone steles registering 161 graduates of the ancient Son Nam town. These are complete works of art carved with rich patterns of dragons, unicorns, and two dragons flanking the moon, quite sophisticated, flexible, and meticulous in every detail. Not far away are May Temple and Kim Dang Temple, also in Lam Son ward, which are relics of unique value. Cloud Temple was built during the Dinh - Early Le period and restored during the Nguyen dynasty. The temple worships Pham Bach Ho - a talented general and national hero who fought the enemy to save the country. This place is also famous for its sacred story, a living testament to the eternal belief in the patronage of the god of the Cloud Temple. Kim Dang Temple is a place to worship General Dinh Dien and his wife Phan Thi Moi Nuong. Kim Dang Temple has great historical value because of its systems of dragon swords, eight treasures, and imperial emblems made of lacquered wood with gilding in the artistic style of the Nguyen Dynasty. Your journey of discovery will be incomplete without Bell Pagoda. Because coming here is coming to the world of Buddha's mind. Chuong Pagoda is known as "The number one scenic spot of Hien Street", not only famous for its beautiful landscape but also for its rich and unique system of Buddha statues such as: Three Jewels Court, Eight Sets of Diamonds, Eighteen Arhats, Ten Kings of Hell... The uniqueness of these statues is not only due to the skillful and elaborate sculpture art but also the lively and flexible nuances through facial expressions and gestures. Therefore, at this pagoda, there still exists a quite unique folk fortune-telling method by calculating the year to choose a statue... Leaving Chuong Pagoda, you will admire the beauty of An Vu communal house on earth in the shape of a Phoenix bird. The communal house worships tutelary god Cao Son Dai Vuong - a famous general during the reign of King Hung Due Vuong, who helped King Hung fight against the invasion of the Shu army. Next is Nam Hoa Temple, facing southwest with Nhat-style structure, built in the Nguyen Dynasty, the construction items and architectural components of the monument are decorated in harmony, creating a soft, elegant beauty. If you want to "Pray for good luck and fortune", come to Ba Chua Kho Temple - Hung Yen. The temple is located in Dien Bien III quarter, Quang Trung ward. The temple worships Mrs. Le Bach Nuong, a loyal and patriotic beauty of the Le Dynasty. Not far away, visit Cuu Thien Huyen Nu Temple, located in Dien Bien II Quarter, Le Loi Ward. The temple is a place to worship Lord Cuu Thien Huyen Nu Chan Quan, who helps people in times of trouble and danger, so she is revered as a saint. Down south is Ancient Hien Street with a cluster of communal house and Hien pagoda relics, which is very attractive to tourists. In front of the yard of Hien Pagoda, there are two stone stele erected in 1625 and 1709, recording the settlement process of the ancient Pho Hien trading port. The pagoda is also famous for having a longan tree that is more than 300 years old. This is a longan tree with rock sugar, silk fat, thick pulp, large fruit, unique delicious flavor, and was used to present to the King. Right next to Hien pagoda is Hien communal house, worshiping the tutelary god of Mau Duong village - the eunuch of the Du family of the Song Dynasty. The communal house was built in the 17th century and has a grand architectural scale imbued with the post-Le art style. At the Special National Relic Area, there is currently a relic that is the crystallization of the interference of Vietnamese culture and architecture with China and the West.
