This is "Phủ Thờ". A worshiping pagoda for our great ancestors-"Ba Quang Thượng Đẳng" or "The Great Three Generals" who served some Việt Nam's past Kings. I really don't know way that far in history but that's all I could remember. Obviously, this building was built in 1967...But I know the previous building that ran in the past probably did not look this good.
It is a long running tradition for all the relatives of our family tree rooted from these three generals to stop by on an established date to pay them a visit here....it is like a festival of sort. A very big event that draws large crowd from the region of which most of the population are relatives rooted from these generals anyway...:) I think it'll be interesting (if not impossible) to draw out a complete family tree just starting from this point to my generation.
