Hau Xa Pagoda

Spiritual significance: The pagoda worships Buddha according to Mahayana Buddhism. The monument serves as a center for traditional religious and belief activities of the Hau Xa village community, guiding people toward compassion, encouragement of good, suppression of evil, and love for fellow human beings.

Sculptural art: The Buddha hall preserves a diverse and rich system of round statues with creation dates spanning from the 19th to the 20th century. Each statue is elaborately and meticulously crafted, achieving high aesthetic value and bearing distinctive characteristics for each specific figure.

Resistance imprints:

• Anti-French period: Hau Xa Pagoda was a base for sheltering revolutionary cadres and safeguarding important local meetings. At present, the right side of the Front Hall still preserves intact traces of a secret tunnel.

• Anti-American period: The pagoda was an evacuation site for many agencies and departments of Ung Hoa District, as well as a place for organizing classes and the meeting headquarters of the village party cell.
