Ngo Pagoda (Linh Ung Tu)

The pagoda is named Linh Ung Tu and is commonly called Ngo Village Pagoda after its location. Ngo Village is one of four villages that formerly belonged to Cu Linh Commune, Thach Ban, Gia Lam District, Bac Ninh Province. Since 1961, Gia Lam has belonged to Hanoi, and at the end of 2003 part of Gia Lam's land became Long Bien District. Currently, the pagoda is in Ngo 2 Residential Group, Long Bien Ward, Hanoi City.

On arriving at the pagoda, the first structure is the Tam Quan (three-entrance gate), located next to the village road. It is a two-story structure with three entrances, built in an arched style.

The main pagoda building faces southeast, has a T-shaped plan, and stands on a foundation about 1 meter above the courtyard. It includes: a five-bay front hall with two side bays, gable walls with closed ends and decorative pillars in front; and a three-bay upper sanctuary with a roof covered in traditional Vietnamese tiles.

During the resistance war against the French colonialists, with the wholehearted support of the resident monks, Ngo Village Pagoda became a meeting and secret gathering place for revolutionary cadres, a starting point for many attacks against the French in the Gia Lam area, and a place with a secret tunnel (in the Thuong Dien) to hide cadres engaged in anti-French activities.

During the resistance war against the United States to save the country, the pagoda and Ngo Village communal house stored military supplies, food, and weapons and ammunition for Unit 205 of the General Department of Logistics, supplying the southern battlefield throughout 1967–1972.

Linh Ung Pagoda was ranked as an architectural and artistic relic by the Ministry of Culture and Information in 1995.
