HBO - The People’s Committee of Cao Phong township coordinated with the management board of Bong Lai Thuong temple in organising the Bong Lai Thuong temple festival 2019 on March 6-7.

Bong Lai temple worships De Nhi Thuong Ngan Tien Nuong (The second Mother Goddess of Forest, goddesses and saints from four palaces). The temple was built under the reign of King Thanh Thai (the Year of Tiger in 1890). However, due to time, the temple severely degraded, and there are only some old vestiges left in the land of the temple along with the existence of Thien Thai cave and several other majestic caves in the Dau Rong (dragon head) Mountain.

Thanks to the spiritual and material support from the local authorities and residents, manager of the temple Tran Van Hai decided to restore the temple. In 2012, the Bong Lai Thuong temple was recognised as a national cultural and historical relic site by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
