Phu Lien Pagoda

Located in group 23, Hoang Van Thu ward, Thai Nguyen city, there is an ancient pagoda with an age of up to hundreds of years - Phu Lien pagoda. This is a temple with a long history in Thai Nguyen, associated with important historical events of our nation. Phu Lien Pagoda has an area of ​​about 7,000 square meters, standing in the middle of an open hill with many green trees, poetic and lyrical. This pagoda is hundreds of years old and holds many spiritual, cultural and historical values ​​of the Vietnamese people. Phu Lien Pagoda (Phu Chan Thien Tu) is an ancient pagoda, built during the Ly Dynasty, on a low hill near the bank of Cau River in the northeast area of ​​Phu Lien commune, Tuc Duyen district, Dong Hy district in the past. . In 1896, the French colonialists occupied and built a diplomatic palace on this hill, so the pagoda had to move to another location, now Hoang Van Thu ward, Thai Nguyen city. Not only is it a famous tourist destination, Phu Lien Pagoda is also an important historical and cultural relic of Thai Nguyen province. As an ancient temple with a long history, Phu Chan Thien Tu has been associated with many heroic historical events of the Vietnamese people. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this was the period when the French colonialists invaded our country, leading to activities of the Vietnamese people to fight against invaders. At that time, the insurgents of Hoang Hoa Tham and Doi Can chose Phu Lien pagoda as a hiding place, avoiding the pursuit of the French army. In 1946, Phu Lien Pagoda was honored to be the place where the election of the 1st National Assembly Delegates of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam took place. This is the first election in the history of our country's formation and development, marking an important turning point in the process of fighting for independence and freedom of the Vietnamese people. Phu Lien Pagoda is a famous tourist destination in Thai Nguyen. At the pagoda, there are many exquisitely carved Buddha statues, Bodhisattva statues, etc. along with many precious relics of high historical and cultural value. The pagoda is a place of spiritual activities not only for Thai Nguyen people but also for many tourists from all over, who come to worship, offer incense and pray. Phu Lien Pagoda was built according to traditional Vietnamese Buddhist architecture, including the following items: Three Jewels House, Linh Dieu Avalokiteśvara Buddha Statue, Mau Temple, Ancestral Church, Ancient Tower Garden. Each worship area is meticulously built, surrounded by trees and fresh ornamental flowers, creating a peaceful, quiet space true to a spiritual, meditative place. In particular, the architectural details of Phu Lien Pagoda exude nostalgia, elaborateness, and sophistication in every line. From the pillars, pagoda roofs, central steps to decorative lanterns, all have an impressive beauty, clearly showing the characteristics of Northern pagodas.
