Voi Phuc Temple belongs to "Thang Long Tu Tran", worshiping Prince Linh Lang. Linh Lang is the 4th prince, son of King Ly Thanh Tong and the 9th concubine is Mrs. Nao Nuong. At that time, the Song Dynasty invaders combined with the Champa army to invade our country. The prince asked his father to go to war to defeat the enemy. The king agreed and issued military orders for the prince to act at his discretion. With his strategic talent, Prince Linh Lang defeated the enemy army and kept the territory intact. The king held a banquet to reward his generals and wanted to give the throne to Prince Linh Lang, but he did not accept. Not long after, the prince fell ill and died on the 10th day of the second lunar month. The king's father took pity on his talented son, so he ordained him "Linh Lang Dai Vuong" and ordered a temple to be built for the people to enjoy forever.   The traditional festival of Voi Phuc Temple is held annually with the participation of 4 communal houses including: Ngoc Khanh communal house, Yen Hoa communal house, Xa La communal house and Hao Nam communal house for 2 days, from the 9th to 10th of the second lunar month, to commemorate the death of Prince Linh Lang.   The festival program takes place as follows:  February 9: From early morning, the ceremony to invite the Saint was performed by Mr. Tu (the temple caretaker), followed by a chanting session and a team of men worshiping the Voi Phuc Thanh temple.
