FOUNDING THE NATION

Luong Van Chanh — A settlement legacy

Associated with early settlement in former Phu Yen, now eastern Dak Lak.

A figure associated with settlement in the Phu Yen region.

Luong Van Chanh is remembered for his role in establishing settlements here; this connection does not establish his birthplace.

His tomb and temple are a national historical site, where commemorations continue to honor that legacy.

Places to understand the story

Visit Luong Van Chanh’s tomb and temple in Phu Hoa 2.
