The three sites—known as Lo 1, Lo 2, and Lo 3—serve as repositories for the historical legacy of the Lo coastal community. The Lo 2 Temple is preserving documentation about its founding in 1886, a period linked to the arrival of settlers who established camps, engaged in the fish-processing trade, and set up a dedicated place of worship.
The Lo Village settlement took shape between the late 18th century and the latter half of the 19th century. As coastal inhabitants arrived to pioneer and establish the village, they brought with them distinct cultural values—ranging from the worship of the Whale God and praying for a bountiful catch festival, to traditional trades such as steaming fish and producing fish sauce.
Historical and cultural researcher Nguyen Danh Hanh said: “All three historical sites are located within a key development zone in Hoa Hiep Ward—a coastal area that has become a highly attractive tourist destination—and serve as valuable resources for tourism development.”
