Lang
Pagoda,
Hanoi,
Vietnam
2022
Lang
Pagoda
has
the
typical
architecture
of
Vietnamese
pagodas
with
two
long
corridors
connecting
the
first
and
the
last
compartments
to
form
a
rectangular
frame
surrounding
an
architectural
work
in
the
middle,
which
is
usually
the
most
important
part
of
the
pagoda
like
the
worshiping
chamber
or
incense
burning
place.
The
pagoda
has
a
three
archway
with
the
main
arch
consisting
of
four
columns
with
the
architecture
similar
to
the
gate
in
the
ancient
royal
palace.
Getting
through
the
gate
is
the
courtyard
paved
with
Bat
Trang
brick,
leading
to
an
octagonal
house,
the
unique
part
of
the
pagoda.
Located
in
the
middle
of
the
pagoda,
the
octagonal
house
is
where
the
statue
of
monk
Tu
Dao
Hanh
is
placed
and
worshiped.
With
a
two-level
roof,
the
house
is
also
a
sophisticated
sculpture
artwork,
featuring
four
phoenixes
dancing
on
the
top
and
eight
dragons
flying
around
the
roof
representing
eight
reigns
of
the
Ly
dynasty.
Inside
the
chamber,
the
wall
features
various
paintings
depicting
different
themes.
Moreover,
the
pagoda
is
a
large,
harmonious
and
symmetrical
architectural
complex
with
100
compartments
in
an
airy
green
space
of
gardens
and
old
big
trees,
creating
a
beautiful
tranquil
place
blended
with
nature.
Therefore,
it
was
regarded
as
the
pagoda
with
the
most
beautiful
greenery
in
Thang
Long.
Today,
it
is
one
of
the
largest
pagodas
in
inner
Hanoi.
