| After a long period of interruption due to the pandemic, this time the relics began to open to welcome visitors to give thanks at the end of the year. Coming to Chi Linh Pagoda - Gam Pagoda (Xuan Thanh Commune, Yen Thanh District), people felt many new features of the pagoda's scenery. Besides the ancient temples and pagodas that have existed for hundreds of years, with ancient features, in the past 2 years, the pagoda has also invested more than 10 billion VND to build a number of new works and restore some degraded items.

If the epidemic is well controlled, it is expected that during the Lunar New Year, Chi Linh Pagoda will hold spiritual activities to pray for the safety of the people: it is expected to organize longevity and spring celebrations for the elderly in the whole district and write the first words of the year. |

After hundreds of years, Duc Hoang Temple still retains its majestic and ancient features. However, due to time and many other reasons, many items in the temple have begun to deteriorate and be damaged. Photo: MH |
