Chin Gian temple was called "Ten Xo Quai" (Hien Trau Temple), located on the top of Pu Pom Hill and near the Ton Stream in Thong Nhat Hamlet, Thanh Quan Commune, about 35 km from the district center, an area predominantly inhabited by the Thai ethnic group. According to the elders in the area, the temple used to be a stilt house with a structure of nine rooms. Each room in the temple was dedicated to a different Muong in the cultural and religious beliefs of the Thai people here. Every year, the Muong communities bring offerings to pray for wealth, prosperity, peace, favorable weather, and a bountiful harvest. In April 2016, the temple was started for restoration and completed in September 2017. The temple was reconstructed in the architectural style of a traditional Thai stilt house, using concrete materials, and consists of nine rooms on the foundation of the old temple. The worship practices for deities and the nine Muong communities remain the same as before. However, there is a difference in the worship practices now, as the temple also honors the heroes and martyrs to express gratitude for the sacrifices made by the outstanding children of the Nhu Xuan homeland ...

Chin Gian temple was called "Ten Xo Quai" (Hien Trau Temple), located on the top of Pu Pom Hill and near the Ton Stream in Thong Nhat Hamlet, Thanh Quan Commune, about 35 km from the district center, an area predominantly inhabited by the Thai ethnic group.

According to the elders in the area, the temple used to be a stilt house with a structure of nine rooms. Each room in the temple was dedicated to a different Muong in the cultural and religious beliefs of the Thai people here. Every year, the Muong communities bring offerings to pray for wealth, prosperity, peace, favorable weather, and a bountiful harvest.

In April 2016, the temple was started for restoration and completed in September 2017. The temple was reconstructed in the architectural style of a traditional Thai stilt house, using concrete materials, and consists of nine rooms on the foundation of the old temple. The worship practices for deities and the nine Muong communities remain the same as before. However, there is a difference in the worship practices now, as the temple also honors the heroes and martyrs to express gratitude for the sacrifices made by the outstanding children of the Nhu Xuan homeland who died for the cause of building and protecting the nation. The site also features several other spiritual structures, such as a shrine for the “Tho Dia”, “Quan The Am”, a Buddhist temple, and a shrine for the “Mau Thuong Ngan”.

In front of the reconstructed temple, there are nine stone buffaloes (six black buffaloes and three white buffaloes) and nine wells, symbolizing the unique cultural traits of the Thai people. These elements contribute to the allure of Chin Gian Temple.

Every year, from the 23rd to the 25th of the first lunar month, the locals hold the "Buffalo Offering Festival" to honor the deities and pray for their blessings and protection over the lives of the Muong community. At the same time, the festival aims to inspire a spirit of unity and solidarity among the people, as they turn towards their roots and pray for favorable weather, peace, and prosperity for the country and its people.
