Thần Quang pagoda


It’s is a must-to see in Hà Nội, and it’s built in the 18th century (later Lê dynasty) from 1428 - 1788. The pagoda was damaged by war and time and rebuilt in 1952, and well-known for its A-Di-Đà (god of mercy) copper statue. It’s not only the biggest statue in Việt Nam but fine -art product by skilled craftsmen of Ngũ Xã centuries -old craft village. The statue is 3,95m high, 10 tons heavy on 96-petal lotus, 15m in perimeter, located centrally.
