Where is the temple located? 
 

Located at the foot of the mountain in the Lat Son region, now Hong Son village, Kim Bang district, Ha Nam. General Le Chan, a female sea general and warlord of military might, the temple is located in 4 places: Quang Ninh is the motherland's hometown; Hai Phong is the location to explore the land and find talented people to build a successful career; Hanoi, where she established training ground for soldiers, and Ha Nam, where her base was located, was also the place where she sacrificed herself to preserve her honor after the Han army counter-attacked and defeated the uprising.

History of the temple

Experiencing many events and repairs, the temple has a solemn appearance. The village elders claim that in memory of the female general who saw off her blood in the valley of Lat Son mountain, the people built a temple right on Ong Tuong mountain. People respectfully bow their heads whenever they enter the forest to gather food and cut firewood.

After some time, on the old temple's foundation, the current Le Chan Temple was built. The Ngan River in front of it has been filled up and Le Chan Street, which leads to factories and industrial areas, is in front of the temple. A closed complex with a surface area of more than 4,000m2 is formed by the main temple, shaded temple, Son Trang cave, guest house, and auxiliary works. A statue of a female general stands majestically in the courtyard in front of the temple door, her sword pointed in the direction of the former base.

The biggest festival held at the temple is on the 13th of July every year (the day of the female general's death). People will hold a festival to remember the merits of the female generals while also praying for them to go into the fields and forests to work.

On July 11, the villagers started preparing for the announcement ceremony at the temple, where they would request approval to start the festival. So many delegations from within and outside the province are invited to sacrifice at the temple during the festival. On July 13, villagers and visitors gathered at the temple early in the morning to participate in a palanquin procession into the communal temple.

People solemnly hold the festival, singing and dancing all night and all morning to demonstrate the temple's sacred atmosphere. The typical games: Martial arts, boat racing, and tug of war make the people excited.
 

The residents of Hong Son village also created a female drum team that performed dances that evoked the atmosphere of an earlier battle, adding to the festival's excitement and heroism.
