This pagoda used to be called “Đùng” Pagoda, built in the 10th century with a scale of more than 100 houses. However, through the ups and downs of history, the pagoda was gradually destroyed and eroded by time. Until 2015, the pagoda was renovated and rebuilt by a monk and the pagoda’s name was changed to the name “Dia Tang Phi Lai Tu” as it is today.
The pagoda is located right on a small hill with green pine forest, the space inside is extremely flat and spacious with spacious walkways. One surprising thing is that the yard leading to the temple is covered with white gravel and has pieces of stone to walk on, avoiding visitors from walking directly on the gravel. This shows that when tourists want to move back and forth between architectural works in the temple, they need to follow the paths and avoid clutter. And the temple grounds always have regular cleaners to ensure the beauty of the pagoda.
