Lam Sơn

Lam Sơn is an administrative town in Thọ Xuân district containing several historic structures including temples, palaces, and burial sites that define its character. The settlement sits in a flat region and is crossed by two rivers flowing from west to east.

The town served as the political center of a major Vietnamese dynasty in the 15th century under Emperor Lê Lợi. This historical role shaped its development and left behind the structures of the Lam Kinh complex.

The Lam Kinh complex with its temples and palaces remains a gathering place where local people observe religious festivals and commemorate important dates. The traditional architecture shapes how the community uses these spaces for spiritual and social occasions.

The town connects to nearby Thanh Hóa city via National Highway 47 and is easily accessible. Provincial Road 506 also links it to neighboring districts for travelers interested in exploring surrounding areas.

The Lam Kinh complex contains not just temples but also palaces and burial sites that reveal how rulers governed over their followers here. This collection of structures forms a rare example of a complete dynastic settlement from its era.
