1. Introduction to Giong Soc Son Temple
Giong Soc Son Temple is located at Ve Linh mountain (Soc mountain) in Phu Linh village, Phu Linh commune, Soc Son district, Hanoi. About 30km from Hanoi city center, convenient for tourists to move, this place is always an ideal destination for many people.
Surely, all of us, the people of Vietnam, all know the legend of Saint Giong fighting the An invaders, bringing peace to the South. Giong Soc Son Temple in Hanoi is associated with this legend, which has been kept until today. In the religious culture of the Vietnamese people, Saint Giong is considered the Immortal God, representing an indomitable, resilient person, ready to devote all his strength to repel foreign invaders.
This historical site was built during the reign of King Dinh Tien Hoang with a small shrine worshiping Phu Dong Thien Vuong and Non Nuoc pagoda. During the reign of King Le Dai Hanh, when he was with the army on the way to fight against the Song army, he visited this shrine and the king performed a ceremony to pray to Saint Giong with the hope that the war would be victorious and bring peace to the people.
And in that battle, our country won and the Song army had to withdraw to the country. To show his gratitude, King Le Dai Hanh ordered the reconstruction of the temple of Phu Dong Thien Vuong period to be much more majestic and magnificent.
After many years of renovation and construction, now Giong Soc Son Temple has Trinh Temple, Mother Temple, Dai Bi Pagoda, Non Nuoc Pagoda, Thuong Temple, Planted Stone, Saint Giong Monument and many stone steles.
2. How to move to Giong Soc Son Temple?
To move to Saint Giong Soc Son Temple, visitors can choose between many means such as:
2.1. Traveling by bus
The road to Giong Soc Son Temple is quite easy to go but there are many slopes, if you are unsure of the steering wheel, public transport is the ideal means for you to choose. However, the bus stop is quite far from the entrance to Giong Soc Son Temple in Hanoi, so you can take a motorbike taxi or walk. But walking, you will be quite tired and do not have much energy to explore this place anymore.
You can choose Bus 15 (Gia Lam - Pho Ni) and then stop at the signposted sign to Giong Soc Son temple outside Highway 3 and from here you need to move another 3km to enter the relic. So you can take a taxi or motorbike taxi to move around to save time and energy. Because entering the relic you will still have to walk and climb a lot more, so remember to take care of your health.

4.1. Ha Temple - Trinh Temple
Ha Temple - Trinh Temple is the first destination in the Giong Temple relic area, Soc Son Hanoi. This is the place to worship the gods in legend. This temple is located just to the left of the gate of the relic site, outside the temple yard there is a tall old banyan tree with a blue lake, stone mascots sitting in front of the Temple.
4.2. Dai Bi . Temple
After visiting the Ha Temple, visitors just need to follow the red nem brick road to see Dai Bi Pagoda. This temple worships the old monks in the past, because they loved the peaceful, pure, and desolate landscape of this place, but stayed to practice until they were righteous.
Dai Bi Pagoda is quite small but has a very unique knowledge. The covered door is painted red, the arched arch is very beautiful and interesting. Inside there are horizontal sentences, couplets painted with golden cards are very majestic and splendid.
4.3. Mother Temple
Opposite Dai Bi Pagoda is the Mother Temple. This is the place to worship the mother of Saint Giong. The area of this temple is quite small, but it is very sophisticatedly carved. Right in front of the entrance to the temple, there is the inscription "Phu Dong famous for Thien Thuong Mau" which is made very meticulously.
The well is located in the temple grounds, with cool blue water all year round, showing gentleness, kindness and tolerance. However, this well is now being dropped by too many tourists, affecting the water in the well, so the relic management board has covered the well mouth to limit that action.
