Linh Quang Pagoda
Introduction
Linh Quang Pagoda – a cultural beauty of Tu Liem Ward
Linh Quang Pagoda, also known as Muc Dong Pagoda, is a city-level relic closely associated with the cultural and religious life of the people of Me Tri Ha. Amid the residential area, the pagoda offers a serene space for visitors to learn about traditional architecture and the historical imprints of this land.
The pagoda complex includes a three-entrance gate, a bell tower, the main pagoda, the Ancestor Hall, and the Mother Goddess Hall. The Front Hall and Upper Hall are arranged in the Dinh character layout; inside, it preserves a system of worship statues, stone steles, bronze bells, horizontal plaques, and couplets. The pagoda is also a place for community religious activities, especially on the Full Moon of the First Lunar Month and the Vu Lan Festival.
Interesting information: The name “Muc Dong Pagoda” is tied to local people’s memory of the pagoda’s initially small scale.
