Cat King's Palace
King Meo's Mansion, also known as Vuong's Mansion, is located in Sa Phin valley (Xa Phin), Lung Phin commune, Dong Van district, Ha Giang province, about 125km from the city center and about 125km from the city center. The famous Dong Van stone plateau is only 15km away. This ancient house is associated with the life and career of two Mong people, the Meo King Vuong Chinh Duc and Vuong Chi Sinh (or Vuong Chi Thanh). Mr. Vuong Chinh Duc (1886 - 1962) was the head of the feudal land government in the mountainous areas of the Mong people, so he was also known by the powerful name of King Meo. His son, who followed the revolutionary path, thanks to his contributions to the country, was elected as a National Assembly deputy for the first two terms. Construction began in 1898 and was officially completed in 1907, costing a huge sum of 150,000 Indochina white silver coins, equivalent to 150 billion VND today. The mansion was designed and built by Chinese Yunnan workers in combination with Mong ethnic people, creating a project larger than 1200m2 on an area of about 3000m2. Thanks to its long history and indisputable cultural value, King Cat Palace was ranked a national monument by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 1993, after nearly a century of existence. In addition, this mansion also took up to 5 years to start construction, all were built with human power and did not use any mechanical means. King Cat's mansion is located at the foot of a valley surrounded above by a high land. With this type of terrain, the entire structure is protected by mountain arcs called turtle shell positions, providing very good defense support during times of fierce war. After more than a hundred years of existence, everything in the mansion is still as intact as the first day. The architecture inside the mansion is extremely unique, the crystallization of three different cultures including the Mong, French and Chinese. The project includes 4 horizontal houses, 6 vertical houses divided into 3 areas: front palace (for guards and slaves), middle palace and rear palace (place to live and work) with 64 small rooms divided into 2 floors. . To meet the criteria of solidity, the builders used green stone to help the mansion stand firm against enemies and time. The roofs, walls and pillars are made of wood to add majesty and flexibility to the rooms. Another material used is terracotta for building tile roofs to make shaping easier but no less sturdy. To this day, the Cat King Palace is one of the few buildings that meets all the requirements for a place to live, work and become a defense base whenever a war occurs. Despite the combination of three cultures in architecture, many people commented that the Vuong family mansion is extremely harmonious, flexible and rhythmic as if forming a unified block without being restrictive or forced. In addition, although it is a project built on a land area of up to 3,000 square meters, the mansion is not as large or massive as many people imagine because it is composed of small subdivisions, with a simple, rusticity of folk architectural culture. The design with the principle of low inside and high outside makes the overall Villa even closer to the surrounding landscape. In general, most of the furniture and items associated with King Cat when he was alive have been kept and well preserved until today. Only a few chairs and wooden furniture were made of stone pine, which was later replaced by our government with ironwood and crushed wood to prevent it from gradually disappearing over time. The wooden structures have a rich local cultural identity by carving native flower patterns such as peaches, poppies... The pillars are crafted to resemble the fruit of the opium poppy, a plant that King Cat does business to make money to build a mansion. Some Western-influenced items in this project include a stone goat milk bathtub, glass shutters next to the fireplace, and the entrance is made of marble connected by a frame. Iron flowers are bold in French architecture. Source: Ha Giang Tourism Newspaper

An Lu Temple
An Lu Temple, located in An Lu commune, Thuy Nguyen district, Hai Phong city, worships famous physician Tue Tinh. The temple is located on the alluvial strip of the Cam River system, flowing through the ancient land of Thuy Nguyen, where land exploration and the creation of villages of people engaged in wet rice agriculture and fishing very early on. Old historical data collected in the locality shows that: during the reign of Tran Due Tong (1370-1377), the great-grandfather of the Pham family named Viet Trinh, who was a merchant, led 5 people from the last names: Bui, Nguyen, Vu, Hoang. Through the eastern land of Thuy Duong district (the old name of today's Thuy Nguyen), we found that the land here is spacious but the population is still very sparse. They immediately discussed and agreed to establish a new area to live in. After that, from their old hometown in Cam Giang, many people continued to come and explore the land, establish hamlets, and the village became more and more crowded. The genealogies of these migrating families have been passed down by generations of descendants, honoring the great-grandfather Pham Viet Trinh as the person who made the first contributions in exploring and organizing land exploration to establish the An Lu village today. After 7 years of moving the population to the land along the Cam River, many villagers continuously suffered from epidemics, were constantly sick, were confused, and intended to return to the old place to do business and live. When you calm down and remember your hometown, there is a medicine made from herbs that are ground yellow, ground, then boiled and drunk. The good medicine was passed down by the great physician Tue Tinh. Everyone told each other to follow the instructions. Indeed, the epidemic was repelled and the population was at peace. That year, in the Dong Sim area, the villagers built a small temple to worship the famous doctor, and named the village An Lu, meaning peaceful village, and the common name was Xua. Rebuild the Xua market, build a 7-span bridge made of ironwood for people to travel across the stream flowing to the Cam River to remind the image of the old homeland. In the past, in An Lu land, there were many other relics such as Tiger Temple, But wharf, and Chung communal house where villagers many times held ceremonies related to propagandizing and disseminating healing methods using plants. , herbs, passed down the good remedies of the great physician Tue Tinh. Over time, war, and harsh nature have completely destroyed the original relics of the village worshiping the famous physician Tue Tinh. In early 1948, An Lu villagers welcomed the famous tutelary physician Tue Tinh to worship at An Bach temple, where villagers worshiped national hero Tran Quoc Tuan and his sons at the current relic site. now. The statue of the great physician Tue Tinh was created by folk artists with skillful hands, rich in traditional Vietnamese art. The statue is made to resemble a real person in the style of a round, solemn statue in official uniform of the late 19th century. The annual An Lu village festival takes place from the 11th day of the 11th lunar month. Depending on conditions, the festival can last from 3 to 5 days. What is special for both Thuy Nguyen district and An Lu village in particular is that in addition to the festival commemorating the great physician taking place at his temple, cultural traditions imbued with local identity are also preserved such as: holding the Xua market in the morning. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are many local products and many other rich countryside. Here, people meet each other in the new spring, wish each other good things, and hope for a new year with lots of luck and prosperity throughout the year. An Lu Temple was ranked as a historical and cultural relic by the State in 1990. Source: Department of Culture and Sports of Hai Phong City
