Pho Hien National Special Relic Site has many relics that are still preserved, retaining all the originality from architectural art to historical values that fully represent the dynasties from Dinh, Ly, Tran, Hau Le (Later Le), and Nguyen, such as May Temple (Dinh Dynasty), Hien Pagoda (Ly Dynasty), Tan La Temple, Kim Dang Temple (Le Dynasty), Thien Hau Temple (Hau Le Dynasty), Tran Temple, and Mau Temple (Nguyen Dynasty).
Hung Yen City has preserved, passed down and organised more than 40 traditional folk festivals that take place annually at the relics. The density of relics associated with spirituality and beliefs has created a unique cultural identity for Hung Yen City.

This creates unique features for each festival, contributing to the cultural space of Hung Yen City, which is both diverse and extremely unique, creating a flow of spiritual cultural history while inheriting and promoting the traditional morality, remembering the merits of our ancestors and showing gratitude for their virtues.
