Do Pagoda

Hung Do Pagoda is a relic belonging to Trung Mau village, Phu Dong commune, popularly called Do Pagoda.

Hung Do Pagoda is located in the former Trung Mau land, with a rich culture deeply marked by history, carrying the identity of the Kinh Bac cultural region with famous places such as Co Loa, Phu Dong, and Co Phap; during the resistance for national independence, Trung Mau was a revolutionary base and a safe-zone base of the Party Central Committee and the Bac Ky Regional Committee.

The people of Trung Mau did not fear hardship, difficulty, or sacrifice, and remained loyal and single-minded in protecting the revolution, ensuring absolute safety for officials of the Central and Regional Party Committees during 1941–1944. As the locality that seized power earliest in the country in the August 1945 Revolution (March 10, 1945), Trung Mau was awarded by the Party and State the title "Village with Merits to the Country" and the First-class Resistance Order against France; in 2000, the President conferred the title of People's Armed Forces Hero.

Do Pagoda also contributed to the achievements of the people of Trung Mau; it was one of the contact points for receiving and escorting officials of the Central Committee and Bac Ky Regional Committee on their way to and from activities. The three-entrance gate of Do Pagoda was where warning signs were posted for Regional Committee officials of the Central Committee working in Trung Mau. Political training and study classes of the Regional Committee and Party officials, chaired by Comrade Hoang Quoc Viet, were held at Do Pagoda.
