The cultural-spiritual tour will take place at Hang Kenh Temple (also known as Kenh Ha Ly Temple), located in Hang Kenh ward of Le Chan district. The site is dedicated to national hero Ngo Quyen, who expelled the Southern Han invaders and reclaimed Vietnam’s independence after over a thousand years of being under the rule of invaders from the North.
