Dao Thi Thanh Thuy, a student at Gia Vien B High School, and her classmates chose Thung Lau Cave and Thung La Temple as the place to make a trip back to the source. Thanh Thuy was excited: I am from Gia Phuong commune, where there is a temple dedicated to King Dinh Tien Hoang. These days, my friends and I want to visit Thung Lau Cave to learn more about the place where King Dinh used to herd buffaloes, cut grass, and practice reed flags to establish a great career. This is the first time I have been here. Not only did I get to see the beautiful natural scenery, I also got to hear many interesting stories about the career of King Dinh Tien Hoang. These are valuable documents for the young generation like us.
Mr. Bui Trong Tinh, Vice Chairman of Gia Hung Commune People's Committee, said: On the foundation of the old palace of King Dinh Tien Hoang, the people built a small 3-room temple to worship King Dinh Tien Hoang and Saint Nguyen Minh Khong. Today, with the attention of the State, local authorities and contributions from the children of the homeland, the temple has been restored and become a national historical relic site.
