The construction of a temple dedicated to Hung Kings was commenced in Binh Thuy district, Can Tho city on the morning of June 18 in the presence of National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyễn Thị Kim Ngân.
The project covers an area of approximately 4ha and over VND129.5 billion (US$5.56 million) funded by Van Phu Invest JSC.
The temple is in shape of a bronze drum of the Hung Kings era, surrounded by a round-shaped lake and is sculpted with patterns of the Hung Kings period.
