Tu Dinh Pagoda

Tu Dinh Pagoda formerly belonged to Tu Dinh Village, Co Linh Commune, Thuan An Prefecture, Kinh Bac Region; in the Nguyen period it belonged to Bac Ninh Province, and today it is located in Tu Dinh 1 residential group, Long Bien Ward, Hanoi City. The relic site is situated on the north bank of the Red River, about 7 km northeast of the center of Hanoi capital.

According to local people's recollections, Sung Khanh Pagoda was built very early on a beautiful plot of land in the village. To date, no document states the exact date of the pagoda's founding. The main architectural components of the pagoda include the Tam Quan (three-entrance gate), the tower garden, the Ancestor Hall, and the Tam Bao (main worship hall). The Tam Bao building has a "ding"-shaped structure consisting of the Tien Duong (front hall), the bridge house, and the Thuong Dien (upper sanctuary).

In 1991, the Dinh - Pagoda - Nghe Tu Dinh relic complex was recognized as a National Historical and Cultural Relic by the Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) under Decision No. 1972/QD-BVHTT dated January 20, 1991. The pagoda was once a major scenic spot in the region due to its imposing scale and ancient character passed down through generations. Over a long period of existence, the relic site has contributed to preserving the fine cultural traditions of the nation and enriching the spiritual life of the community.
