Stretching along our country's coastline, there are hundreds of lighthouses of different sizes, but Hon Dau Island Lighthouse is still extremely prominent. It is surrounded by an ancient primeval forest and located more than 1km from the mainland, it can be considered a world separate from the hustle and bustle out there. Right from the moment we set foot on the island, we encountered sycamore and banyan trees with large, muscular trunks with giant python-sized roots slithering on the ground. Hon Dau Island Lighthouse belongs to the Do Son Beach entertainment tourist area and is associated with the legend of Old Than Vuong Island. Do Son mountain runs along the peninsula of Van Hoa hill, then stops and rises up a small hill completely separate from the mainland, which is Dau Dau. If the mountain range running along Do Son is a big dragon, then Hon Dau can be seen as a pearl playing right in front of the dragon's mouth. Coming to the island, you will visit the Hon Dau Island Lighthouse, built in 1892 and completed in 1896. In June 1898, the lighthouse was officially put into operation under the management of the French. The light is about 63.5m high above sea level and in May 1955 our army took over the lighthouse from the French. Since then this day has also become the starting day of the Maritime Safety Industry. During the years of resistance against America to save the country, the enemy attacked the lighthouse, laid mines to block Hai Phong port, and hindered aid ships to our country. Accompanying the people, the workers on the lamp chanted the slogan "As long as there are people, there is still light, the heart is still beating, there is still light". In 1964, when the US Air Force expanded its invasion campaign, Long Chau lighthouse and Hon Dau Island lighthouse contributed to protecting the safety of ships from socialist countries carrying goods. On April 27, 1967, it was completely demolished by the imperialists, but then the light station workers quickly rebuilt a 17m high iron light pole to replace it. In 1986, the new lighthouse was rebuilt right on the old foundation and then in 1995, it was remodeled according to the original foundation. This lighthouse is an imposing 2-story building with a light tower in the middle. We can climb up to the light stage using a wooden, spiral staircase with 90 steps and then reach the windy circular corridor, where you can admire the vast sea and sky, with flocks of birds flying. The lighthouse is designed with flashing lights and white light every 15 seconds. Below our feet and far away is Do Son mountain as if at eye level. When visiting the Lighthouse Museum staff and tour guides at Hon Dau Island Lighthouse will help us learn more about the history as well as interesting legends on the island. From the top of Hon Dau Island Lighthouse, you can breathe in the sea breeze full of life and immerse yourself in the beautiful space of heaven and earth. Right below us are still the torpedoes that the American imperialists dropped to extinguish the navigation lights for the numberless ships, they are still lying there as a living testament of a glorious time. Coming to Hon Dau Island Lighthouse, in addition to visiting the ancient lighthouse, you also have the opportunity to visit the Nam Hai Dai Than Vuong temple to light incense and pray for peace. This is a quite sacred place on the island that is highly respected by the people of Do Son in particular and Hai Phong in general. The ancients also had to lower their sails and go in to worship each time they passed by. One time, while on a trip to the North, King Tu Duc's boat encountered strong winds and storms. The king went to the temple to pray, but soon the sky cleared up. The 8th - 10th day of the second lunar month every year is the time for the traditional Dau Island festival of seafarers on the Northern Coast. On this day, fishermen from all over the provinces will come to worship, praying for a year of calm seas and a harvest of fish and shrimp.

After that, from their old hometown in Cam Giang, many people continued to come and explore the land, establish hamlets, and the village became more and more crowded. The genealogies of these migrating families have been passed down by generations of descendants, honoring the great-grandfather Pham Viet Trinh as the person who made the first contributions in exploring and organizing land exploration to establish the An Lu village today.

Over time, war, and harsh nature have completely destroyed the original relics of the village worshiping the famous physician Tue Tinh. In early 1948, An Lu villagers welcomed the famous tutelary physician Tue Tinh to worship at An Bach temple, where villagers worshiped national hero Tran Quoc Tuan and his sons at the current relic site. now.
