Cao Temple in An Lac Ward (Chi Linh) worships 5 saints of the Vuong family who helped King Le Dai Hanh defeat the Song invaders in 981. After defeating the invaders, the generals became saints in the sacred land and were revered by the people as "Supreme Gods of Fortune" and a temple was built to worship them in their hometown, An Lac Ward today. After more than 1,000 years, the national relic complex of Cao Temple remains majestic, quiet and has become a place to educate generations about patriotism.
