Voi Phuc Temple

Residing in the west of the ancient Thang Long citadel is Voi Phuc Temple hidden under the green foliage in Thu Le Park. The god is worshipped as Prince Linh Lang. The name Voi Phuc Temple comes from two stone elephant statues kneeling in front of the temple gate. The roof of Voi Phuc Temple has traditional architecture like other ancient temples — the tail of the temple roof is curved, embellished with carvings of mascots such as dragons, lions, and phoenixes,... Participating in the festival at Voi Phuc Temple is a unique spiritual and cultural experience for the people of the Capital and tourists from all over the world. The festival takes place on 3 days: the 9th, 10th, and 11th of the second month of the lunar calendar every year with activities such as palanquin processions, incense offerings, sacrifices, cockfighting, and martial arts.
