Van Mong Temple

The Temple of Saint Van Mong is located on elevated, dry land in a mountainous area within the Tuy Lai Lake complex - Tuy Lai commune, My Duc district today. According to the temple's legend, Saint Van Mong was born on 5/5 in the Quy Mui year (1043) and had the power to call clouds and summon rain, along with the practice of medicine to save people and help the world. Saint Van Mong passed away on 22/10 in the Ky Dau year. When droughts and epidemics occurred, the local people often came to the foot of the mountain in Tuy Lai canton - where she often came to find medicinal herbs and practice healing powers - and their prayers were all very efficacious. Van Mong Temple in Tuy Lai commune was ranked as a provincial/city-level historical and cultural relic under Decision No. 1516/QD-UB dated October 21, 2005.
