Giap Luong Shrine

Giap Luong Shrine is a folk belief relic located in Dai Cuong Village, Ung Hoa Commune, Hanoi City (formerly belonging to Dai Cuong Commune, Ung Hoa District). This is a place of worship for the village's patron deities, associated with the formation and development of the Giang Trieu residential community, and is also a site for traditional belief activities of the local people. The shrine is one of the cultural relics of Ung Hoa Commune, and together with the system of communal houses, pagodas, temples, and shrines in the area, it is preserved and promoted by the locality. Giap Luong Shrine is not large in scale but has deep spiritual significance for the villagers. According to village tradition, the shrine is where the Tutelary God and local deities are worshipped—those revered by the people as protectors who bless the villagers with favorable weather, good harvests, and peaceful lives.

The shrine is usually where incense-offering ceremonies take place on the first and full-moon days of the lunar month, at the beginning of the New Year, and during the traditional festival of Giang Trieu Village in the past.
