Chùa Dư Hàng Temple.. Hai Phong.

Chùa Hàng is an ancient temple I encountered in Hai Phong, and its deep history and serene atmosphere are very impressive. The temple was built during the Tran Dynasty and has been restored through various eras, yet it still retains its unique tradition and beauty. Particularly, its interaction with the Bamboo Forest Zen Sect shows that this place was more than just a temple; it was an important doctrinal center of Buddhism. Walking through the temple grounds, I felt not just the old architecture but the deep faith and tranquility embedded within. The ancient bells, Buddha statues, and intricate ceramics speak to the temple's long history, making visitors forget the passage of time. Most notably, it is a place more frequently visited by locals than tourists, giving a genuine glimpse into the daily life of Hai Phong.
