Thay Pagoda
Built during the Ly dynasty in the 11th century, Thay Pagoda (Sai Son, Quoc Oai, Hanoi) was officially recognized as a special national relic by the state since 2015, being one of the oldest and most historically significant pagodas in the northern region with special cultural values.

This pagoda is closely associated with the Zen master Tu Dao Hanh, who made great contributions to teaching, healing the sick, and founding the famous traditional water puppetry in Vietnam.
