After the great victory over the invading Manchu army, at noon on the 5th day of the Lunar New Year (January 30, 1789), Emperor Quang Trung rode a war elephant, leading his army into Thang Long in the joy of victory.
As emperor, Quang Trung carried out many important reforms to modernize and develop the country.
Emperor Quang Trung chose the land of "geomancy and talented people" Yen Truong and Vinh Yen - where Ru Quyet and Mieu Son are located (now Dung Quyet mountain, Trung Do ward, Vinh city, Nghe An) - to build the capital named Phuong Hoang Trung Do.
In 2005, Nghe An province started construction of the Quang Trung Emperor Temple on the second peak of Dung Quyet Mountain, 97m above sea level. This is the sacred land that King Quang Trung chose as his capital more than 220 years ago.
The project was inaugurated on May 7, 2008, with a large scale, large campus, and unique architecture. The temple includes main items such as: lower hall, middle hall, upper hall, left wing, right wing, triple gate, and sacrificial objects restored in the cultural style of the Nguyen Dynasty.
Promoting the morality of "drinking water, remember its source", on the 5th day of Lunar New Year every year, at Emperor Quang Trung Temple (Vinh City), Nghe An province organizes a ceremony to celebrate the Ngoc Hoi - Dong Da victory.
This is an opportunity to review the great contributions of the hero Quang Trung - Nguyen Hue, who contributed to protecting the independence and freedom of the Fatherland, for the longevity of the nation, for the prosperity and happiness of the people.
