TPO - In A Lu village, Dai Dong Thanh commune (Thuan Thanh district
, Bac Ninh province), there is the tomb and temple of Kinh Duong Vuong - grandfather of King Hung - ancestor of the ancient Vietnamese people.

| Kinh Duong Vuong tomb is located outside the dike, about 500 meters from today's Duong River. |
 |
| The mausoleum today is shaded by giant trees, creating a quiet, majestic landscape. |
 |
| During the French colonial period, the mausoleum was devastated. It was not until 1971 that the people of A Lu village had the conditions to plan and restore it to be spacious and airy while still bearing the imprint of ancient architecture. |
 |
| Right next to the Duong River, there is a pair of very large green stone dragons facing the Kinh Duong Vuong Temple. |
 |
| The mausoleum has two roofs, in front of the mausoleum there are three altars, on the way to the right of the mausoleum there is a house for visitors to prepare offerings, the total area of the mausoleum is about 4,200 m2. |
 |
| The mausoleum includes: A green stone stele 1.05 m high, 0.45 m wide, bearing the words "Kinh Duong Vuong mausoleum" engraved in the 21st year of Minh Mang (1840) along with a number of large ceramic and porcelain incense bowls with ancient patterns... |
 |
| Kinh Duong Vuong Temple is located about 300 m from the mausoleum, about 2,347 m2 wide. |
    |
| The middle room of the temple has a gilded throne placed on the Kinh Duong Vuong altar, the left room has a throne to worship Au Co, the right room has a throne to worship Lac Long Quan, along with a system of worship objects that are solemnly arranged. |
