Pac Vang Temple is located in Con Lon Commune. Pac Vang Temple is a “souvenir”
that the Chinese community left behind before leaving the land they had long
been attached to. The Chinese community built Pac Vang Temple to worship Quan De
Dai Than and the Mother Goddess.
However, because Pac Vang Temple is located in a low position, when building
Tuyen Quang Hydroelectric Plant, people moved to a higher position. That is the
position you see when visiting Pac Vang Temple today. Pac Vang Temple is the
"embodiment" of the cultural exchange between the Chinese and the Vietnamese
Mother Goddess worship. Don't forget to make a pilgrimage to Pac Vang Temple
