Dating back to the 11th century, during the reign of King Ly Nhan Tong, this pagoda is a remarkable complex of temples, communal houses, and pagodas. Marvel at the architecture as you explore its three distinct sections: the outer part, where offerings and ceremonies take place, the middle part dedicated to Buddha worship, and the inner part devoted to the veneration of the revered monk Tu Dao Hanh, after whom the pagoda is named. Don’t miss the captivating water puppet performances held on the small stilted stage in Long Tri Pond during festive occasions.

A delectable lunch awaits you at a local restaurant, where you’ll indulge in the flavors of authentic Vietnamese cuisine, savoring the regional specialties and fueling up for the next part of our adventure.
