Co Loa Communal House is located in the middle of the inner citadel and was built with a rather large architecture.

According to legend, this is the resting place of My Chau. When she threw herself into the sea, the fishermen around saw a human-shaped rock washed ashore. They tried to bring the rock back but failed, only when they reached the banyan tree did the burden suddenly become lighter. For that reason, a temple was built here, located under the shade of a thousand-year-old banyan tree. 
Ngoc Well is located right at the entrance of An Duong Vuong Temple, in the middle of Ban Nguyet Lake in Co Loa Citadel. Ngoc Well stands out with its clear blue water, trees and cool space. In particular, Ngoc Well is where Trong Thuy threw himself into the water because of his grief for My Chau. 
Co Loa Citadel is not only a cultural heritage, a testament to the creativity, technical level and culture of the ancient Vietnamese people, but also an ideal destination for tourists from all over the world in modern life. This place has long been a tourist destination with rich historical and literary values associated with many legends of the Vietnamese people.
