01Ba Duong Communal House – Where kite flutes resound beside the Red River
Located on the left bank of the Red River, Ba Duong Communal House (Hong Ha Commune, Dan Phuong, Hanoi) is a peaceful destination for those seeking the ancient Northern Delta village atmosphere. The relic was ranked in 1990 and worships General Nguyen Ca, a renowned general who helped Dinh Bo Linh quell the rebellion of the Twelve Warlords and unify the country in the 10th century.
Passing through the imposing ceremonial gate, visitors encounter a spacious courtyard, with the front hall, main communal house, tube-like passage, and rear shrine connected in succession. The stacked-beam roof trusses with carved panels of the four sacred creatures, four seasons, lion playing with a ball, and leaf dragons strongly reflect the artistic style of the Nguyen dynasty. The site also preserves nine royal edicts along with many stone steles, horizontal plaques, couplets, processional palanquins, and intricately carved altars, making it a valuable historical archive of this ancient land.
