Yen Lap lake scenic relic - Loi Am pagoda

The complex of Loi Am Pagoda - Yen Lap Lake relics has long been known by many tourists from all over as a charming landscape of Ha Long. With values ​​​​of culture, history, science, art and landscapes, bearing the mark of the ages, on November 23, 1997, Loi Am Pagoda - Yen Lap Lake was recognized by the Ministry of Culture and Information. Ranked as a National Monument. As for many people of Ha Long City, this place has become an indispensable pilgrimage site every Spring vacation. This cluster of relics is located on the right side of Highway 18A (direction from Ha Long City to Hanoi) in Dai Yen ward, Ha Long city. Through research of historical documents, Loi Am pagoda was built in the year of Quang Thuan during the reign of Le Thanh Tong and the inauguration date may coincide with the time when King Le went to patrol An Bang and engraved a poem on Bai Tho mountain (1468). . Yen Lap Lake is the largest irrigation project in Quang Ninh province. After more than 30 years of exploitation and use, Yen Lap Lake is still effective, not only contributing to reducing droughts and floods but also also plays an important role in providing water sources to serve the socio-economic development of Ha Long city, Uong Bi city and Quang Yen town. Viewed from above, Yen Lap Lake appears with a gentle blue color, surrounding the lake are undulating mountains, and small islands emerge in the middle of the lake, creating a natural, captivating look. The cluster of historical and scenic relics of Loi Am Pagoda - Yen Lap Lake has created a poetic landscape, which has been famous since ancient times, and is now even more famous to attract visitors from all over the country. Loi Am Pagoda is located in a semicircular area, extending from the top to the middle of the mountain. In front is the lake, following the "leaning on the mountain, facing the water" position that our ancestors once compared to "the dragon flanking the tiger, the left side shielding, the right side supporting, there are sacred mountains converging, there are mystical universes overlapping". . Loi Am Pagoda is at an altitude of 395m above sea level, built in the Southeast direction, which is the direction of wisdom and spirituality. The remaining traces left today are that Loi Am Pagoda was built according to the architectural structure of "foreign internal affairs", a typical example of Le Dynasty architecture. From the foot of Loi Am mountain up to the temple gate along Chua Ngu street, with a length of about 850m and an average width of 2.5m. On both sides of the pagoda there is a stream of injustice that splits into 2 branches. When passing through the pagoda, it merges into a stream. The stream has water flowing all year round, originating from the top of the mountain and pouring into Yen Lap Lake. Rows of ancient trees planted in front and around the pagoda are a symbol of elegance and longevity. In addition, the pagoda is also rich with rows of banyans, brasses or brooches, creating a sacred place for meditation but also very close to mundane life. Vietnamese feudal kings often came here to visit and praise. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, when the French colonialists invaded our country, all pagodas, temples, and shrines were seriously destroyed. As for the right-hand front street, there is still a wall 1.5m high, 30cm thick, built entirely of red bricks. The rear of the three treasures area still retains a wall 1.2m high and 20cm thick. Next to the pagoda on the right is a tower garden made of fine-grained green stone, with a solid tenon grafting technique. The three-storey tower remains intact, with the words "Pho Minh tower" clearly written on top. The top of the tower is carved with a pedestal holding a Cam Lo water vase, gradually shrinking towards the top, radiating forever in the air, giving visitors the feeling of being transcended at the door of meditation. In front of the temple door, there is also a stone incense tree built in the shape of four pillars. On the incense roof, where the tips of the blades show a twisted pattern, to some extent, it symbolizes the wish for "favorable rain and wind". Also located in front of the pagoda on the left is a row of ancient stone stele consisting of 5 intact pieces. During each festival season, people and tourists cross Yen Lap lake to Loi Am pagoda. To feel the beauty here is to surf on a boat to enjoy the poetry and fresh air. The surface of Yen Lap Lake has no rushing waves of the sea, no natural caves like Ha Long Bay... But coming to Yen Lap Lake is to find the serenity of a gentle landscape, water surface. Ripples in the gentle breeze can be seen all the way to the bottom, floating islands on the lake are interesting resting spots. The cluster of historical relics and scenic spots of Loi Am Pagoda - Yen Lap Lake has imbued with the imprints of the ages with many values ​​in history, science, art and landscapes. Through research and survey of the relics of Loi Am Pagoda, we can confirm: Loi Am Pagoda is a priceless cultural art treasure.
