Huong Canh temple worships six Gods under Ngo Kings. The architecture of Huong Canh temple is in the shape of the letter Vuong (Kinh), including three parts. This is also the general architectural style of the relics of 3 temples Huong Canh, Ngoc Canh and Tien Canh. From the beginning of the twentieth century, Huong Canh's architectural style was regarded by the French as one of the most valuable cultural constructions.
