A special national relic complex linked to Tran Hung Dao and Nguyen Trai, hidden among green pine forests.

Con Son - Kiep Bac is one of the most sacred relic complexes of the eastern region, where two national heroes left their mark. Kiep Bac Temple honors Hung Dao Dai Vuong Tran Quoc Tuan, who thrice defeated the Mongol-Yuan invaders, standing beside the majestic Luc Dau River. Not far away, Con Son Pagoda nestles beneath vast pine forests, tied to the world cultural figure Nguyen Trai and his verse, 'At Con Son the stream murmurs as it flows.' Each autumn, the Kiep Bac and Con Son festivals draw tens of thousands to offer incense and honor the merits of their forebears amid the harmonious beauty of mountains and water.
