King Le Thai Tong Temple

Que Lam Linh Tu - A historical landmark of King Le Thai Tong in Son La. King Le Thai Tong Temple, also known as Que Lam Linh Tu, is part of the National Monument of Que Lam Ngu Che Stele - King Le Thai Tong Temple, located in To Hieu Ward, Son La Province. The site is associated with King Le Thai Tong's two military expeditions to the Northwest region to suppress rebellions in 1440 and 1441. During these journeys, the King had his poem, 'Que Lam Ngu Che', carved into the cliffside, leaving a historical mark spanning nearly six centuries. The temple was inaugurated in 2002, situated with its back against Cam Mountain and facing the Nam La stream. The structure features traditional architecture, including a three-entrance gate (tam quan), a temple courtyard, side halls, a main ceremonial hall, and a rear sanctuary. Details such as tiled roofs, horizontal lacquered boards, parallel sentences, ritual objects, and four-sacred-animal motifs create a solemn and ancient atmosphere. From the temple grounds, one can capture the spiritual architecture, Cam Mountain, and the Nam La stream in a single frame. This location is suitable for historical films, period dramas, documentaries, music videos, or scenes depicting the religious life and historical legacy of the Northwest region.
