Location: Du Hang Pagoda is located at 121
Du Hang Street, Du Hang Kenh Ward, Le Chan District, Haiphong.
Characteristics: The pagoda is considered an ancient architectural relic
of the city.
The pagoda was built under the Ly Dynasty. It was later renovated in the 17th
century by Nguyen Dinh Sach, an officer of the imperial guard who resigned and
became a Buddhist monk. In 1899, during the reign of King Thanh Thai, a monk by
the name of Thong Hanh expanded the pagoda and built a bell tower. The existing
pagoda resulted from the repair work carried out during that time. Inside the
pagoda are several statues that are intricately engraved in the style of the
Nguyen Dynasty. Valuable relics, such as bronze tripods and gongs, are also kept
in the pagoda.
