Voi Phuc Shrine
Introduction
Voi Phuc Shrine is located in Thuong Hoi Village, O Dien Commune, Hanoi City. It is a historical and cultural relic associated with the legend of the famous general Van Di Thanh, who served King Tran Trung Quang in fighting the Ming invaders in the early 15th century. The shrine was built to worship him as the village tutelary god, notable for its large-scale traditional architecture in the “Cong” character style, along with a system of horizontal plaques, parallel couplets, royal edicts, and artifacts of historical value. In particular, Voi Phuc Shrine is closely linked to the Van Son Mausoleum relic and the Cheo Tau Tong Goi singing heritage – a unique ritual folk singing form, contributing to the distinctive historical, cultural, and belief values of the land of O Dien.
