Du Hang Pagoda
The Du Hang Pagoda is located at 121 Du Hang Street, Le Chan district, in Haiphong and is an important architectural relic of the city. The pagoda was built during 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 at that time. Inside the pagoda are several statues, intricately engraved in the style of the Nguyen dynasty. Valuable artifacts such as bronze tripods and gongs are also kept in the pagoda.
