Hai Giac Pagoda

Hai Giac Pagoda is one of the ancient, large-scale pagodas of the Ha Mo – O Dien area that remains relatively intact. According to tradition and local records, the pagoda was established in the 6th century, associated with the period when O Dien played an important role in the Van Xuan State. The pagoda stands out for its harmonious traditional architectural system, especially more than 200 statues, including about 50 freestanding statues of high artistic value, and two corridors enshrining the 18 Arhats. Beyond being a Buddhist space, Hai Giac also bears marks of the cultural and scholarly life of Ha Mo, including the “Dong giang but” spirit-writing event in 1907. With its outstanding historical, architectural, and artistic values, the pagoda was recognized as a National Architectural and Artistic Monument in 1991.
