Thuan Ton Pagoda (Linh Ung Tu)
Introduction
Thuan Ton Pagoda (Linh Ung Tu) (located in Thuan Ton Village, Bat Trang Commune) has been a National-level relic since 1995. The grand Linh Ung Temple stands majestically in Thuan Ton Village, possessing one of the largest grounds in the area, highlighted by its classical inner-cong outer-quoc architecture harmoniously combined with spacious gardens and the serene tomb-stupa garden of the patriarchs. Thuan Ton Pagoda preserves an extremely massive collection of ancient Buddha statues, intricately carved with strong artistic imprints of the Le-Nguyen dynasties, demonstrating the pinnacle craftsmanship of ancient artisans. The system of couplets, horizontal plaques, and ancient stone steles at the pagoda is a valuable treasury of historical documents serving research on the history and culture of the Red River bank area. The site is currently a major center of Buddhist activity, with technical infrastructure always maintained in perfect condition thanks to the joint efforts of Buddhists and the scientific management of local authorities.
