ATK of the Tonkin Regional Party Committee (Chong Pagoda)

The ATK of the Tonkin Regional Party Committee Historical Relic Site – Chong Pagoda is located in Tram Long Village, Ung Hoa Commune, Hanoi City. This is one of the capital's typical red addresses, associated with the Vietnamese revolutionary movement during the pre-uprising period and serving as the center of the Safe Zone (ATK) of the Tonkin Regional Party Committee in 1942. Chong Pagoda is not only an ancient pagoda with architectural, cultural, and religious value but also a place that marks the secret activities of many senior Party leaders during the years of struggle for national independence. Chong Pagoda has the Sino-Vietnamese name Hong Phuc Tu and was built during the Later Le dynasty (around the 17th century). The communal house and pagoda are located on the same grounds in the traditional architecture of 'Front Saints – Rear Buddha', reflecting the harmonious combination of folk beliefs and Buddhism of the Vietnamese people.
