(BNP) - Located more than 2 kilometers from Do Temple, the relics of King Ly Thai To's mausoleum, Cao Lam quarter, Dinh Bang ward, Tu Son city, have undergone numerous restorations but have retained their holiness thus far. When returning to the Ly dynasty's motherland, a significant number of people and visitors from all over the world visit.


 

The Tomb of King Ly Thai To (also known as Long Chao mausoleum), previously a forest of pomelo trees, is currently located on about 5,000 m2 of land with a higher terrain than the surrounding area, and includes the following items: Worship temple, beer house, guest house, gate, semicircular lake...


 

There are lush trees lining the walk leading to the mausoleum.


 

A sizable semicircular lake in front creates a cool environment for the artifact.


 

In front of the lake is a green stone wall.


 

The shrine was constructed on a grand scale following the 1,000th anniversary of Thang Long - Hanoi (1010 - 2010).


 

The front and harem of the shrine, along with the architecture's "two-story matchmaking stack with eight curved roofs," together form a Chinese “Dinh” letter.


 

King Ly Thai To's altar is located in the nave.


 

The statue of King Ly Thai To - Cong Uan is in the center. He served the Ly dynasty well, lived to be 55 years old, reigned for 18 years, and transferred the capital from Hoa Lu to Thang Long in order to preserve and extend the territory. He was born in 974 and died in 1028.


 

The picture of King Ly Thai To moving the capital is in the middle of the shrine.


 

The stele house, which bears the location of King Ly Thai To's final resting place, is to the left of the shrine.


 

People and visitors can prepare rituals and offer incense in the guesthouse's seven rooms.


 

Near the mausoleum of King Ly Thai To is the mausoleum of King Ly Nhan Tong.


 

In accordance with Prime Minister's Decision No. 2408/QD-TTg dated December 31, 2014, the King Ly Thai To Mausoleum as well as the mausoleums of other Ly dynasty monarchs and the Do Temple were designated as Special National Monuments.
