The tomb of Ngo Quyen and the temple of Phung Hung stand at the edge of Duong Lam, a short drive or a longer walk from the Mong Phu gate. They honour the two leaders born in the village: Phung Hung, who rose against Tang rule in the 8th century, and Ngo Quyen, victor at Bach Dang in 938.
Both are quiet shrines rather than grand monuments, set among trees and rice fields, and together take about twenty to thirty minutes.
End your village morning with the two kings
We drive the short hop so older legs and hot days are not a problem.

A traditional temple with low tiled roofs and a stone courtyard, where the village worships Phung Hung as Bo Cai Dai Vuong. Incense, offerings and a sense of continuous use make it feel more alive than a museum.
The tomb of Ngo Quyen
Ngo Quyen’s tomb lies on a low rise close to the fields, with a shrine and stele house in front of it. The setting, open and green, is part of the appeal.
