- An Ma Temple: The temple is located on a small mountain in the middle of the lake. Legend has it that during the feudal war of the Le – Mac dynasties, the Mac generals lost the battle, ran to Dong Puong and committed suicide there. Appreciating the spirit of loyalty, the people built a temple to worship the Mac family, but worried that the Le Dynasty’s military would find out and destroy it, they changed the name to An Ma Temple. The two words “An Ma” in the Tay ethnic language mean “beautiful peaceful grave”, the resting place of Mac family loyalists.
