Huynh Dao Pagoda - a pagoda with majestic dragons

in Worldmappin3 years ago

Hello everyone, where have you been these days?
If not, I will take you to explore a pagoda called Huynh Dao. The pagoda was built in 1996 with an area of over 3000 square meters. The pagoda is designed in the Chinese architectural style. The pagoda is located on the mountain of Sam drug in An Giang province, this is one of the beautiful pagodas that attracts many tourists to visit and worship.

When entering the pagoda, you will see many Arhat Buddha statues placed at the entrance to the pagoda. To the left of the pagoda gate is a lotus pond, in the middle of the lake is a pearl, in which there are 9 growling dragons. There is a way down so you can get close to the dragons but unfortunately, when I traveled here, the pagoda blocked the way. So I could only watch the dragons from afar. The dragons have irresistible beauty, they show strength, full of majesty. The craftsmen have created a beautiful work with carved motifs on the dragon to make it look like the real thing.

The more you go inside, the more you will be surprised because the temple grounds are so large, filled with beautiful Buddha statues. Following the footpath, you will come to each Guan Yin Buddha statue, you can burn incense and admire the beauty of the statues here. The road is paved with bricks and has a lot of trees, on both sides are Buddha statues. I think you will enjoy walking around this area.

The pagoda has Chinese architecture, so the lines are very delicate. The pagoda will design many outdoor communal houses. These pavilions are linked to the main church by a tiled walkway. These communal houses are places to burn incense and worship for tourists visiting the pagoda. You can see the roof of the communal house is spiked high and the tops are often decorated with beautiful and majestic dragons. This is also a feature of Chinese architectural style.

Around the pagoda is full of green trees and very cool. The pagoda has two lotus ponds that are responsible for regulating the temperature in the pagoda. When you come to the pagoda, you will want to stay in this pagoda longer because the environment here will make you comfortable, forgetting all the troubles in life. You can find a cool place to rest, listen to the monks chanting. That will make your soul clean. In addition to the spiritual attractions of the pagoda, the architecture of the pagoda will attract visitors to see. Chinese architecture with the symbol of powerful and masculine dragons will attract many people to visit and take pictures. Young people often come here to check-in with magnificent Buddha statues and powerful, colorful dragons. In the afternoon, the elderly who come to the pagoda to take a walk in the campus pagoda to breathe in the fresh air and be purified in their souls.
