Dao Xa Pagoda

Dao Xa Pagoda (also known as Van La Tu) is located at the center of the national relic complex comprising Dong Communal House, Tay Communal House, and Dao Xa Pagoda (Chuong Duong Commune, Thuong Tin District, Hanoi). The pagoda is small in scale but strongly bears the marks of traditional architecture, with a system of 36 Buddha statues solemnly arranged from the worship hall to the upper sanctuary. In front of the pagoda courtyard, an ancient stone incense pillar erected in 1729 is still preserved. Together with the surrounding communal houses and temples, Dao Xa Pagoda is a serene spiritual space closely tied to the religious life of the people of the traditional embroidery craft village here.
