In 1975, implementing the Party and State’s policy, residents of Nai Nam village, Hong Ha commune, Dan Phuong district, former Ha Tay province, relocated to a new economic zone in Chieng Khuong commune, former Song Ma district. With the agreement of the authorities of the two former districts, the temple was relocated and rebuilt in Thong Nhat hamlet, Chieng Khuong commune.

To this day, local residents continue to uphold the tradition of holding the festival on the 12th day of the first lunar month each year. In addition to the main festival, they also organise various activities to commemorate the birth anniversary of the Trung Sisters (Trung Trac – Trung Nhi) and the death anniversary of Thi Sach – the husband of Trung Trac, meeting the spiritual needs of the community in their new homeland.

The temple has preserved relatively intact the original set of worship objects, including artifacts made of wood, bronze, earthenware, porcelain, and paper, dating from approximately the 16th to the 19th centuries. Promoting its historical and cultural values, local authorities have actively mobilised social resources to restore and embellish the temple. The site has become an attractive spiritual destination, drawing numerous visitors from near and far, especially in early spring. Notably, in 2011, the Hai Ba Trung Temple was recognised by the provincial People’s Committee as a provincial-level historical relic site.

The festival consists of both ceremonial and festive parts. The ceremonial section features the water procession ritual, with participation from various groups, including the ‘xenh tien’ dance troupe, local dance troupe, offering team, flag team, ceremonial guard team, water jar procession team, drum team, palanquin procession team, ritual team, and incense offering team, who carried out the procession from the Ma River to the temple. At the Ma River, a shaman burned incense and performed the ceremony of drawing water into a ceremonial jar, after which the procession returned to the temple.

Following the water procession was a welcoming art programme featuring special performances such as a drum performance, sword dance, the song-and-dance performance “Properous Vietnam,” a martial arts display, and rituals of flower and incense offering in tribute to the great contributions of the Trung Sisters.

The festival is organised to educate younger generations about the tradition of patriotism and uphold the national ethic of gratitude. It also aims to promote the historical site’s values, creating a highlight that helps turn the temple into an attractive spiritual and cultural tourism destination for visitors from across the country.
