The construction of the Tan Thanh pagoda in Van Lang district, the northern border province of Lang Son, got underway on May 16.

The pagoda, invested by the Buddhist Sangha of Vietnam’s Lang Son chapter at a cost of 530 billion VND (24.35 million USD), will spread across 20 hectares near the Tan Thanh border gate with China.

The Three Refuges building, the Hung Vuong Temple, the Tran Saint Temple, and the Mother Temple are just a few of many buildings within the estate of the pagoda.-VNA
