The Temple of the Mother Goddess Au Co, also known as Hoang Xa Temple, is located in Tan Hung village, old Hung Cuong commune (now Tan Hung residential group, Son Nam ward). The temple worships the Mother Goddess Au Co and 24 District Dukes - the ancestors who helped King Le Dai Hanh fight the enemy and keep the country's borders peaceful. Through the ups and downs of history, the temple has been restored and embellished many times, still retaining its ancient beauty, and is an important cultural and spiritual work of the locality. In 2014, the Vietnam Record Organization officially recognized the record: Mother Goddess Au Co Temple - the oldest temple to worship Mother Goddess Au Co in Vietnam. In 2020, Mother Goddess Au Co Temple was recognized as a provincial historical relic.

With the attention of the province and functional sectors, along with the donations of the people and visitors, the harem of the Temple of the Mother Goddess Au Co was completed after nearly 10 months of construction, ensuring quality, aesthetics, and cultural and spiritual values.
At the ceremony, delegates, people and tourists offered incense, paid tribute to ancestors and cut the ribbon to inaugurate the harem of the Temple of the National Mother Au Co.
