All three gates are solidly built with 12m thick walls, creating the feeling of standing inside the gate like being in a stone cave.
Architecture imbued with the culture of the Khmer people.
On the campus of more than 7 hectares of Hang Pagoda, there are nearly tens of thousands of birds of all kinds, most of which are white storks, ivory storks, red-necked storks and herons.
Like other Khmer pagodas, Hang Pagoda is not only a place of worship and belief but also a place of learning, moral education, and preserving the traditional culture and arts of the Khmer people.
The main hall of the pagoda is built on high ground, with many steps leading up, and is splendidly decorated with many patterns and motifs. The roof of the main hall is made up of many overlapping layers, topped by a tall, majestic tower.
In 1968, the pagoda was heavily damaged by bombs and bullets. In 1977, monk Thach Suong (now the 23rd generation abbot) returned and campaigned to restore the temple. Since then, through many restorations, the temple has become spacious and majestic.
People often call it Hang Pagoda because the western side gate, facing Provincial Road 36 (now National Highway 54), was built like a system of 3 caves close together. In it, the middle gate is a large cave, the two sides gates are two small caves.
Hang Pagoda, known in Khmer as Kompong Chray, is a famous Khmer Theravada Buddhist temple, located in cluster 3, Chau Thanh town, more than 5 km south of Tra Vinh city center, along Highway 54.
Truc Lam Tra Vinh Zen Monastery is the first Zen monastery belonging to the Truc Lam Yen Tu sect of Tra Vinh province.
