LocHang Pagoda at Nam Quan used to be a border line where Nguyen Trai and his father Nguyen Phi Khanh last meeting. Loc Hang Pagoda at Nam Quan was took away by Chinese in 1950 and never return to Vietnam since. Chinese was not stop right there, they are slowly encroaching toward Vietnamese land and move border line 5 Killometters deeper south.

History of Loc Hang Pagoda. In 1406, King Min Ching (Chinese) to ordered commander Chen Fu to bring two million troops to invade Vietnam. King Ho brought many troops to resist the enemy, but he was finally defeated. As a result, King Ho and some court officials which included Nguyen Trai's father (Nguyen Phi Khanh), became prisoners of war. Then Truong Phu brought them to China.

When Trai's brother (Nguyen Phi Hung) and he received the bad news about their father's arrest, they took their families to meet their father at Loc Hang Pagoda, the border between Vietnam and China. They hoped they could accompany their father and take care of him to the end of his life. They were crying when they met their father at the border. Nguyen Phi Khanh told Nguyen Trai,"you are an educated person, and a smart person. If you wanted to be a pious child, I would hope that you would be a useful person to your country. You should find a good way to wash out this insult to Vietnam and avenge my capture. I do not want to see you crying as a woman would. That would not be a good son. (Dr Nguyen Dan Que)
