Two kilns serve the casting of General Trần Hưng Đạo statue

In 1289, General Trần Hưng Đạo was conferred the title Hung Dao Dai Vuong, then he retired to Van Kiep commune (Hung Dao Commune, Chi Linh town, Hai Duong province). The Vietnam generations honored General Trần Hưng Đạo as "Tran Saint" and built worshipping temples in many places, and the most famous temple is Kiep Bac temple in Hung Dao commune, Chi Linh town, Hai Duong province where he established military bases and trained troops for the wars against the Mongol army.
