On the right is the faint Ba Vi peak. Green fields, hills, palm trees, tea gardens, rich villages, picturesque scenery, and midland spread out before you. Here and there scattered large lakes gleaming like a mirror in the spring light.
The Temple of Hung historical relic consists of three main temples, namely Ha Temple, Trung Temple and Thuong Temple, respectively. From the first steps at the foot of the mountain, we will step up many stone steps to pass through the gate, the gate is built in a high arched form, the lower floor has a large arched door, the top of the upper pillar of the sewer pillar has a smaller arch, the four corners of the roof are decorated with a dragon shape, embossing with two animals.
