Introduction
Phuc Khe Pagoda is a sacred destination rich in historical imprints, associated with the Ly Dynasty and the merits of Grand Duke Le Phung Hieu. The pagoda belongs to the Mahayana sect and is designed in an impressive Dinh (丁) character layout while retaining simple, rustic architectural features similar to traditional communal houses and pagodas in Vietnam. Not only a symbol of national architectural art, Phuc Khe Pagoda is also a distinctive spiritual cultural space, where Buddha statues and revered deities are delicately arranged to serve the religious needs and prayers of a large number of monks, nuns, and Buddhists. Thanks to the attention of the government and authorities at all levels, the pagoda has been invested in restoration and embellishment since 2023 and was completed spaciously in 2025. Every year, many major ceremonies take place here, such as the Thuong Nguyen Festival (Full Moon of the First Lunar Month), Buddha's Birthday, Vu Lan Festival, and Year-End Ceremony (Full Moon of the Twelfth Lunar Month), attracting a large number of local people and pilgrims from all over to visit and practice goodness.
