Video : The tomb of Lady Trieu viewed from above.
Located atop Mount Tung is the tomb complex of Lady Trieu and the tombs of three generals of the Ly dynasty. The mountain belongs to the Tam Da range, with a terrain of mixed limestone and earthen hills, running in a northwest direction.
To reach the tomb of the Lady, visitors must climb over 300 stone steps, which are quite steep.
Standing atop Mount Tung, one can gaze out over the peaceful and prosperous landscape of the villages and admire the merits of their ancestors.
The Queen's tomb complex has a roof styled like a palanquin, with a wine flask-shaped finial at the top. Inside, there is an incense burner, and a stone altar is placed on the main facade of the tomb.
The mausoleum complex is built in a square layout. Originally constructed of brick, it was renovated in 2005, retaining its original shape but entirely replaced with solid stone. The Queen's tomb is built 0.5m higher than the ground level. The square tomb structure measures 1.5m x 4m and is 2.3m high. The tomb has arched doorways on all four sides, with a curved roof at the corners, and a spherical ornament at the apex.
Next to the tomb of the Lady is a stupa, also carved from solid blocks of green stone.
At the foot of Mount Tung lies the tomb of three generals of the Ly family: Ly Cong Thanh, Ly Cong Hoang, and Ly Cong My - all from Bo Dien village who fought alongside Lady Trieu against invaders.
The tomb of the three generals of the Ly dynasty measures 3m x 3m. Behind the tomb is a rectangular brick altar used for placing sacrificial offerings. Outside the tomb area is a stone stele, with the inscription "Commemorative Stele".
About 50 meters from the foot of Mount Tung is the Ban The Temple. Legend says this is where the three Ly brothers took an oath to join the rebel army of Lady Trieu, located in the Dong Bang rice field area, Phu Dien village. Currently, the temple is just a brick altar, 2.04m long, 1.48m wide, and 1.38m high.
Lady Trieu (whose real name was Trieu Thi Trinh, also known as Trinh Nuong or Trieu Au), born in 226, was from Quan Yen district, Cuu Chan province. She possessed extraordinary beauty, exceptional martial arts skills, enjoyed socializing, and had great ambitions, as evidenced by her famous quote: "I want to ride the strong winds, trample the fierce waves, slay the giant whales in the East Sea, drive out the Wu army to reclaim the land, and break the yoke of slavery, rather than bow down and become a concubine to anyone!"
In 248, Lady Trieu, along with her brother Trieu Quoc Dat, gathered young men from the region to revolt against the Ngo dynasty's rule. Shortly after, Trieu Quoc Dat fell ill and died, and Lady Trieu was honored by the generals and soldiers as their leader. Faced with the strength of our army, the Ngo army's towns and cities in Cuu Chan were successively captured. The uprising developed and spread to the Giao Chi region, extending as far as Nhat Nam. In this situation, King Ngo, Sun Quan, had to send General Luc Dan as Governor to suppress the rebellion. After many fierce battles, the rebel army could not withstand the powerful enemy. Lady Trieu committed suicide on Tung Mountain (now in Trieu Loc commune) on August 22nd, Mau Thin year (248), at the age of 23.
