Previously, in 2010, Thai Hoa town held a ceremony to place the statue of King Hung, which was cast in a craft village in Y Yen district, Nam Dinh province. After the announcement ceremony at Hung Temple (Phu Tho), the bronze statue of King Hung was brought to Lang Vac temple.

The Lang Vac archaeological site was discovered by archaeologists in the early 70s of the 20th century. Through many excavations, artifacts and evidence of ancient Vietnamese people and the Dong Son culture were discovered. Currently, this place still preserves many ceramic and bronze artifacts, including bronze drums of agricultural residents during the time of the Hung Kings.

The incense offering ceremony at Lang Vac Temple demonstrates the morality of “remembering the source of water”, commemorating the merits of ancestors, and at the same time aims to enhance the status and stature of a spiritual place and an archaeological site./.
