Dao Ky Mausoleum

General Dao Ky's Mausoleum: It was built on a spacious, open plot in the fields of Phuc Tho village and at the center between the two villages of Phuc Tho and Le Xa. The mausoleum area is enclosed by a wall and planted with many old trees such as banyan, si, and xanh trees, creating a solemn setting. On the right side of the mausoleum area is a stele inscribed “Dismount” from the 19th century. In the middle of the mausoleum area is General Dao Ky's tomb, built of square bricks, with four pillars supporting the roof, four curved corners, and a roof covered with tubular tiles; in the center is the general's tomb, and in front of the tomb is an altar with a wooden horizontal plaque lacquered red and gilded. Behind the tomb is a scroll-shaped screen decorated with themes of the four sacred creatures and four seasons. On the left side of the tomb is a stele in Han characters praising the merits of General Dao Ky in the resistance war against the Eastern Han army in 40–43 AD. This is the place where villages in the canton that worship the general perform ceremonies during festivals, and it was also where the Coi canton's mausoleum-welcoming procession was once held.

Every year, the villagers of Phuc Tho hold a festival on March 15 (the birthday) and August 15 (the death anniversary) of General Dao Ky. On March 15, a ceremony is held at the communal house and outside the mausoleum. For each festival, the villages take turns hosting, and sometimes two villages co-organize the procession in the same year. In the past, the ceremony at the mausoleum often included a water procession at the Ngoc well behind the mausoleum. Tradition has it that the ceremony welcoming the mausoleum is a rain-praying ritual—a prayer for favorable weather and bumper crops. In addition to the rituals, the festival includes quan ho singing at the communal house pond and folk games such as cockfighting, tug-of-war... 

The Phuc Tho communal house relic and General Dao Ky's mausoleum were ranked as a City-level Historical and Cultural Relic under Decision No. 1218/QD-UBND dated March 20, 2012.
