The Dia Tang Phi Lai Pagoda – where the soul finds refuge.

Located in Ha Nam province (100km south of Hanoi), the Dia Tang Phi Lai Pagoda is a famous temple built in the 11th century, known for its peaceful mountain scenery, tranquil atmosphere, and warm hospitality, attracting many Buddhist followers and pilgrims.

Throughout the ups and downs of history, the Dia Tang Phi Lai Pagoda sits nestled against the mountain, with the mountain bearing a majestic presence, flanked by the Azure Dragon and White Tiger, surrounded by countless pine shadows. This is also a prominent feature that creates the beauty of the peaceful and serene temple hidden amidst the mountains and forests.

The temple boasts many unique architectural features and artistic values, such as the Three Jewels hall with a beautiful statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, stone courtyards, and eye-catching decorative arrangements, creating a uniquely beautiful landscape.

Immersing oneself in the serene sound of temple bells, the fragrance of incense lingering in the air, and wandering through the peaceful realm of the mountains and forests, participating in meditation sessions and reciting sacred scriptures are experiences not to be missed when visiting this temple.
