Explore Lang Pagoda, also known as Chieu Thien Pagoda, located on the land of the old Lang Village, 6 km west of Hanoi's city center. Built in the 12th century under King Ly Anh Tong’s Dynasty, the pagoda was constructed to worship Buddha, King Ly Than Tong, and Buddhist monk Tu Dao Hanh, a famous monk during the Ly Dynasty.

According to legend, Buddhist monk Tu Dao Hanh reached the peak of his holiness and extraordinary magic. He died at Thay Pagoda and then was reincarnated as the son of Sung Hien Hau, the younger brother of King Ly Nhan Tong. King Ly Nhan Tong didn’t have a son so he conferred the title of crown prince on Sung Hien Hau’s son who later became King Ly Than Tong. When King Ly Than Tong died, his son, Ly Anh Tong, ordered the construction of Chieu Thien Pagoda in memory of his father.

Admire the large, harmonious, symmetrical architectural complex with an airy space and 100 compartments. See the three-door gate, large brick-paved path, octagonal house, bell house, guest house, ancestor-worshiping house, mother-worshiping house, and garden of tomb towers.

Marvel at the unique stone dragons on the two sides of the stairs leading to the forecourt. See the stone stele erected in 1656, carved with the image of two fairies with their wings spread.

Admire the statues of Arhats placed along the walls of the pagoda and the statue of Tu Dao Hanh, made from rattan and red-lacquered. According to research, based on the graphic strokes and layers of paint observed at the slits on the statute, the statue dates back to the Le Dynasty.

According to a researcher from the Centre for Southeast Asian Prehistory Research, the two layers of cloth used to make the statue are dated hundreds of years apart.
