Ham Long Buddhist temple

The temple structure spans across two mau of land and contains multiple buildings, including twelve remaining stupas and several ceremonial halls.

Founded in 1158 by Buddhist master Nguyễn Minh Không, Ham Long temple stands as one of the earliest religious establishments in northern Vietnam.

Five life-sized bronze statues decorate the Patriarchs' altar hall, with one believed to represent the 18th-century Buddhist figure Trinh Thap.

The temple sits at coordinates 21.145444 latitude and 106.105194 longitude, with parking spaces available for both cars and motorbikes near the entrance.

An eight-meter stone stupa from 1733 contains relics attributed to Trinh Thap, who declined marriage to a Le dynasty princess to pursue religious life.
