Secrets of Vietnam’s Independence: Exploring Ngo Quyen’s Tomb

Join us on a journey to explore the sacred resting place of Ngo Quyen (898-944), the legendary king who defeated the Southern Han in the famous Battle of Bach Dang (938) and ended over a thousand years of Chinese domination. Hidden in the peaceful village of Duong Lam, Son Tay, King Ngo Quyen’s temple and tomb are national relics that represent a pivotal moment in Vietnam’s history: the dawn of independence and self-rule.

In this video, we will uncover the unique architectural features of the tomb complex, restored during the Nguyen Dynasty in the 19th century, including the stone stele inscribed with the characters "Tien Ngo Vuong Lang" (The Tomb of King Ngo Quyen). We will also walk through the Temple of King Ngo Quyen, nestled on Cấm Hill, with its tranquil courtyards and ancient duối trees that are said to have been tied to the king’s war elephants and horses.

Come discover this hidden gem of Vietnam’s history, with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, as we honor the forgotten hero who shaped the destiny of a nation.
