A pilgrimage to Mieu Ong - Mieu Ba in spring

Located in Ba Che district, opposite to the banks of Ba Che river, the relic site of Mieu Ong - Mieu Ba has long become a venue for local religious ceremonies and pilgrimage routes. More river-based tourism products have currently been developed in this area.

The Mieu Ong and Mieu Ba temples are historical evidence of the Vietnamese people’s conquering nature, expanding their territory to the north while defending their sovereignty against foreign invaders

Mieu Ba worships the princess of forest (Mau Thuong Ngan). According to folklore, she is the soul of mountains and rivers. Mieu Ong worships General Le Ba Duc, who was instrumental in defending King Tran Nhan Tong and his father Tran Thanh Tong from the Yuan-Mongol invaders when they took refuge in the area in early 1285.

Mieu Ong and Mieu Ba were recognized as provincial historical relics on June 23rd, 2013 and the province has approved historic zone planning with an area of 5 hectares, including Mieu Ong, Mieu Ba, some other pagodas and items in 2014.
