According to the New Hanoi Electronic Newspaper, the history of the pagoda was built around 1130, as a place to worship Buddha and the ancestor Mother Ngau. Photo: Vuong Loc

In 1762, the pagoda was restored by an elder of the Le dynasty. To pay tribute to that merit, the villagers worshiped him and named the pagoda Quoc Lao Hung Long self. Photo: Vuong Loc

Due to its geographical location along the To Lich River and the national highway, Ngau Pagoda during the resistance war against the French used to be a hiding place for soldiers and weapons. Photo: Vuong Loc

Experiencing the ups and downs of nature and the history of two struggles against the French colonialists - the American Empire, the temple suffered many bombs and bullets of the war, so it was almost completely ruined. Photo: Vuong Loc

Although almost newly built, Ngau Pagoda still has ancient and solemn features. The pagoda has a moderate size, hidden under the lush green canopy. Photo: Vuong Loc
