Cloud Temple worships general Pham Phong At, also known as Pham Bach Ho, a talented general of our country in the early period of the era of independence and self-reliance (early 10th century to early 11th century). According to "Dai Nam Nhat Thong Chi", Pham Bach Ho was born on January 10, the year of Canh Ngo (910), his father was Pham Lenh Cong from the Nam Sach Giang route (now Kim Thanh - Hai Duong). Lenh Cong had a large shop in Dang Chau - Kim Dong - Hung Yen (now Xich Dang - Lam Son - Hung Yen). Legend has it that his mother dreamed of Son Tinh and a White Tiger and got pregnant, so she named him White Tiger. When White Tiger grew up, he had a muscular body, strong like a tiger, smarter than others, and perfect in literature and martial arts. Pham Bach Ho used to be the chief of Dang Chau and was a talented general of Duong Dinh Nghe. In the year of Tan Mao 931, he helped the general to expel Ly Tien, governor of Giao Chau; Defeated Tran Bao sent by Duong Minh Tong to rescue him, then proclaimed himself a military governor. When Kieu Cong Tien, a general of Duong Dinh Nghe, killed the general, took the position and asked for help from the Southern Han army to invade our country. Pham Bach Ho coordinated with Ngo Quyen to bring troops to destroy Kieu Cong Tien and defeat the Southern Han army on the Bach Dang River in the year of Mau Tuat (938). When Ngo Quyen died, Duong Tam Kha usurped the throne, Pham Bach Ho and Do Canh Thac overthrew Duong Tam Kha and Ngo Xuong Van, Ngo Quyen's son, ascended the throne. This period was called Later Ngo Vuong. In 965, the King of Later Ngo died, and the country's heroes rose to fame in each region. Pham Bach Ho occupied Dang Chau and was one of the twelve warlords at that time.

Dinh Tien Hoang decreed for the people to build a temple, and all dynasties awarded him the title: "Khai Thien protects the country, the most sacred spirit". Legend has it that the god is very sacred. In the past, King Le Ngo Trieu (also known as Le Long Dinh), when he had not yet ascended the throne, had a hamlet in Dang Chau and often went boating. One day, when it rained heavily, Long Dinh sought shelter and saw a temple on the riverbank. He asked the villagers: "What god is the temple worshiping?" sacred?” said that "this is the support of a continent, the ceremony of praying for rain and stopping is very suitable". Vuong then said loudly: "If God can make wind and rain, then try to make this side of the river stop and the other side of the river rain. That would be truly sacred!" After saying that, it was true that half of the river on the other side was raining very heavily, and half of the river on the other side was very heavy. This is the only cool breeze. Long Dinh did not get wet, so it was surprising that he ordered the temple to be repaired. Over time, the Cloud Temple has been restored and remodeled many times. Today, the temple's architecture still features the carving art of the Later Le and Nguyen dynasties. The temple was built in the Tam style including: front altar, middle temple and back palace.
