The pagoda is in the north of Thoi Loi Mountainwhere a crater has helped create a large lake. The path winds around mountainsgiving visitors views of beautiful landscapes.

The Hang Pagoda was built during the ruleof Emperor Le Kinh Tong (1588-1619), and is called so because it is situatedinside a large cave.

The pagoda has a large yard with a lotuslake at the centre and a statue of the Goddess of Mercy looking out to sea.

Around the yard are ancient tropical almondtrees creating an imposing scene. In front of the pagoda is a well called“Heaven”.

Visitors often try to get a little bit ofwater from the stalactites in the cave believing it will relieve them oftiredness.

The main worship hall is in the centre ofthe main cave. Altars were created from stalagmites and carved with uniquepatterns.
