An Vinh - Tinh Ky mausoleum was built about 300 years ago, in the 18th century. This is a religious architectural work built by fishermen to worship the God of the South Sea (whale), the god of fortune for fishermen when they encounter trouble.

The relic is associated with the place where the community lives - An Vinh village, Tinh Ky commune; it is the place where the migration and land reclamation of An Vinh villagers on Ly Son island originated, so the relic is called An Vinh - Tinh Ky tomb.

Secretary of the City Party Committee Ngo Van Trong and Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the province, presented the Certificate of Recognition to the leaders of Tinh Ky commune.

The original elements of the ancient architectural work are still intact, such as: stone walls, whale skeleton, wooden oars, wooden statues in the shape of dragons and phoenixes. These unique features have contributed to creating distinct characteristics compared to some other Ong tombs in the province.
