Dinh Tay Tuu (Đình Tây Tựu), located in Hanoi's Tu Liem District, is a historic communal house dating back to the Le Dynasty (16th century) that enshrines General Dao Truong, revered as the legendary sacred god 'Bạch Hạc Tam Giang' who led the navy to repel foreign enemies during the Hung kings era. The temple features traditional 'two-tiered eight-roof' architecture with intricate dragon carvings and stone pillars, and is famous for its Dam Village Boat Race (Lễ hội bơi Đăm), a National Intangible Cultural Heritage event held every five years that commemorates General Dao Truong's naval achievements.
