Tourists visiting the city of My Tho in Tien Giang Province could not miss Vĩnh Tràng Pagoda (Chùa Vĩnh Tràng), an ancient southern architectural gem and one of Vietnam Popular Destinations. Here is one of my mom favorite places as well. In every 1st each month, she and my dad come to this Pagoda to pray health and happiness for all members in family.

The pagoda is located in My Phong Commune, which is three kilometers from the city center. It was built in 1849 by a Buddhist monk named Hue Dang using funds collected from practitioners. The religious site was seriously damaged by French colonists in 1861 and a severe storm in 1904. On both occasions, practitioners restored the pagoda to its original splendor.

There are three entrances to the pagoda. The central Iron Gate is always closed, while the two side gates, which are designed in the Co Lau style, are open. The side gates are adorned with colorful porcelain mosaics featuring Buddhist folktales and natural scenery.

The facade of the pagoda contains both Asian and European architecture including elements from the Renaissance period, Romanesque style, French decorative flowers and Japanese enameled tile. From afar, the pagoda resembles the five-tower Angkor Temple.

According to locals, a monk named Minh Dan and an architect named Huynh Tri Phu traveled to Cambodia prior to building the pagoda for inspiration and eventually combined Khmer architecture with European styles for the pagoda. It is the reason why it has been become one of Vietnam Popular Destinations.

The pagoda houses 60 precious statues made from copper, wood and terracotta. The most valuable collection is the 18 aghast made from jackfruit tree wood in 1907. Additionally, the pagoda has a bell that was cast in 1854. This pagoda which is one of Vietnam Popular Destinations is surrounded by gardens of ornamental trees, ancient trees and bonsai, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

The pagoda provided shelter for Vietnamese patriots and is recognized as a national historical and cultural relic by the government. Tien Giang province very proud of this pagoda, one of Vietnam Popular Destinations, it attracts a high number of tourists every year. Hope you will visit this pagoda when you have a chance to stay in this province. Good Luck to your trip.
