Located in Dong Hai ward, Hai An District, the Phu Xa Temple is dedicated to the worship of the hero Hung Dao Vuong Tran Quoc Tuan, who dedicated his life to the nation and the people. According to legends, Tran Quoc Tuan built here a vast number of food warehouses to prepare for the Bach Dang campaign against Nguyen Mong invaders (1288). The temple was also the place where Tran Quoc Tuan rewarded soldiers who had achieved merits in the Bach Dang campaign before moving to the Van Kiep military base.
The temple also worships a woman named Bui Thi Tu Nhien who was responsible for managing the food warehouses during the Tran Dynasty. Every lunar March and August, Phu Xa Temple holds its high days. The State has recognized it as historical site of national level.
