Giac Hoa Pagoda

Giac Hoa Pagoda

Giac Hoa Pagoda, also known as Hai Ngo Pagoda, is located in Xom Lon hamlet, Chau Thoi commune, Vinh Loi district. The pagoda was built in 1919 by Ms. Huynh Thi Ngo, born into a wealthy family of famous landowners in Bac Lieu at the end of the 19th century, who donated money and land to build it, commonly known as Co Hai Ngo Pagoda. In October 1920, the pagoda was completed after 18 months of construction. Giac Hoa Pagoda was one of the most typical artistic architectural works in Bac Lieu at that time. After completing the construction of the pagoda, Ms. Hai Ngo always participated and performed social benefit work such as teaching, helping the poor... The pagoda is a complex of architectural works, large and small, tightly arranged and balanced according to the "internal and foreign" style, harmoniously combining East - West architecture. In front is the Main Hall, behind is Thien Tinh yard and the Hau To house (worshiping the ancestors and Ms. Hai Ngo, the founder of the temple). The main hall is basically like a colonial-era mansion, sitting on a very high, solid foundation, quiet yellow, tiled roof, dark brick floor... like an artistic masterpiece. The remaining building blocks are loyal to the common East-West architectural style, with a strong French impression, embellished with curved roofs and lines of Oriental characters in front, connecting the buildings and the space. Inside each building are cool corridors, scientifically arranged, the entire space of Giac Hoa flows smoothly like a harmonious piece of music. It can be said that, in terms of ecological space, aesthetics, architecture and antiquity, Giac Hoa itself achieves a quite high level. Inside the main hall is an elegant, peaceful, airy space, designed and built entirely of precious wood. With a structure of 20 round wooden columns with a diameter of 45 cm carved with dragons, phoenixes and many very sophisticated motifs divided into 5 horizontal rows, supporting the tiled roof. Buddha statues and interior decorations are also made of good wood. In the temple grounds, there are also unique architectural works such as the bust of Guan Yin Buddha on the mountain, Duong Tam Tang teacher and student going to pray for sutras, waterfalls, statues of the 12 zodiac animals,... creating more unique features for the temple. . Especially during the two resistance wars, Giac Hoa Pagoda was a revolutionary base, housing many soldiers and officers. In 1945, responding to President Ho Chi Minh's call for "A jar of rice to feed the army", Ms. Hai Ngo donated 2,000 bushels of rice to the revolution. With those values, the pagoda was recognized by the People's Committee of Bac Lieu province as a provincial-level historical and cultural relic in 2001. The temple is also a place to teach Buddhism, opening the first "summer retreat" class for hundreds of monks and nuns to study for free. Currently, the temple also has a Buddhist Intermediate School managed by the Buddhist Sangha of Bac Lieu Province, the cradle of Southern nun education. Giac Hoa Pagoda today is majestic and splendid, becoming a famous Bac Lieu spiritual tourist destination welcoming hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Source: Bac Lieu Tourism
