Right next to the temple of King Trieu Viet Vuong, there are two temples worshiping mandarins Doan Tuong Cong and Doan Cong Thuong. These are two people who lived in the 18th century, belonging to the Doan family in Cam Nang. During their lifetime, the two of them took on many important responsibilities at the Royal Court.
