Approaching Bong Lai Pagoda, right from the Red River dyke, we can admire a "Bong Lai fairyland" island in the middle of green rice fields, nearby is a church and ancient houses looming behind the leaves of ancient trees. , floating in the blue sky. The pagoda has beautiful architecture, in the middle of the highest beautiful hill in the area, like a link between heaven and earth, between yin and yang. From the dike to the pagoda, we have to climb a long slope to reach the Buddha's door. A cool, soothing atmosphere of frangipani flowers and ancient foliage creates a feeling of relaxation and calm. According to the epitaph, Bong Lai Pagoda during the Le Dynasty had a foreign interior-style architecture, including 36 compartments, symbolizing 36 hamlets of Ha Thach village. Experiencing the events of social history, the massive Bong Lai Pagoda gradually faded into oblivion. Up to now, the architectural layout of the pagoda is arranged as follows: Outside the pagoda is a redone three-entrance gate (the old three-entrance gate was demolished in 1953) from the gate follows a straight path to the 200m2 red-tiled pagoda yard, on the left. The yard is a newly built 3-room house, with a row of stone steles on the right side. The main architecture of the pagoda consists of two nail-shaped buildings, built on the highest ground. The 5-compartment frontage is 14m long, 3.1m wide, newly built over 20 years ago, the architectural structure is in the style of hitchhiking with walls and pillars. The second building has a 5-compartment upper palace structure, 13.5m long, 8.7m wide. The truss structure of this building includes the first beam and the roof supporting pillars. The upper palace of Bong Lai Pagoda remains relatively intact with its old architectural components. There are 20 large and small wooden columns in total, each one is 3.6 m high and 1.25 m in circumference; The sub-column is 2.5 m high, 1.0 m in circumference; The column body is painted red and painted with a scrolling dragon image.

These are millstones from a major restoration in the 17th century. SOURCE: ENGLISH ONLINE
