Located in the Bao Ha National Temple historical relic complex of Lao Cai province, Ken Temple (Chieng Ken, Van Ban, Lao Cai) is famous for its solemnity and antiquity with valuable evidence still intact. Ken Temple is located on top of Pu Dinh hill, over 180m high, in the heart of Ken village with a land area of ​​over 10,000m2. According to memories from the elders, due to the advantage of a high point and a wide field of view, during the French colonial period, colonial soldiers chose this place as the "key point" for all four villages: Ken, Chieng. , Bo village, Be village around a radius of 4 km. However, they could not hold the station for long before the struggle movement and the increasingly strong development of the Revolutionary Army (at that time called Viet Minh), the colonialists had to flee and return to a peaceful life. for local people. Since then, the sacredness of the temple has been worshiped by the people, because the more the enemy holds this place, the more they lose. According to ancient legend, Ken Temple worships Mr. Nguyen Hoang Long and the generals of the Nguyen family who were instrumental in repelling the enemy and establishing villages in Van Ban district. People in the area remember his merits and the generals of the Nguyen family worshiped and built a temple here.

Today the road to the Temple has been opened by local people. Modern means of transportation such as cars and motorbikes can reach the place, very convenient for tourists to visit. With its mysterious sacredness spread by word of mouth and beautiful scenery, Ken Temple is increasingly known and attracts more and more visitors from all over to visit and worship. Every year on the 7th day of the first lunar month, Lao Cai province holds the Ken Temple Ceremony to commemorate the merits of Mr. Nguyen Hoang Long and his followers. SOURCE: Vietnam Tourism
