Thầy Temple, Buddhist temple in Quoc Oai District, Hanoi, Vietnam
The temple stands near an artificial lake at the base of Sai Son Mountain, featuring three main sections connected by arched bridges named Sun and Moon.
Founded in the 11th century during Emperor Ly Nhan Tong's reign, the temple became a significant religious site dedicated to Zen master Tu Dao Hanh.
The entrance hall displays 100 historical images and two large clay mixed papier-mâché figures, representing different periods of Vietnamese Buddhist art.
Located 30 kilometers from central Hanoi, visitors can access the temple through regular bus services or organized tours departing from the city.
A limestone cave within the temple complex marks the location where monk Tu Dao Hanh, known for water puppetry and medical practices, reportedly disappeared.
