Location: Nghe Temple is situated in Me Linh Ward, Le Chan District, Haiphong City, about 600m from the Municipal Theatre towards the south-west.
Characteristics: The temple is devoted to the cult of Le Chan, a woman general in the insurrection of the two Trung Sisters.
Le Chan established the settlement of An Bien village, the predecessor to Haiphong.
Previously, the temple was only a small shrine, but in 1919 a sanctuary of the Temple was built, and in 1926 the Kowtowing Court was built. The Temple is a historical vestige monument comprising stone elephants, stone horses, stone ornate beds, stone stelae and buildings.
Location: Du Hang Pagoda is located at 121 Du Hang Street, Du Hang Kenh Ward, Le Chan District, Haiphong.
Characteristics: The pagoda is considered an ancient architectural relic of the city.
The pagoda was built under the Ly Dynasty. It was later renovated in the 17th century by Nguyen Dinh Sach, an officer of the imperial guard who resigned and became a Buddhist monk. In 1899, during the reign of King Thanh Thai, a monk by the name of Thong Hanh expanded the pagoda and built a bell tower. The existing pagoda resulted from the repair work carried out during that time.
Inside the pagoda are several statues that are intricately engraved in the style of the Nguyen Dynasty. Valuable relics, such as bronze tripods and gongs, are also kept in the pagoda.
