Hanoi: Huyen Khong pagoda is a well-known pagoda in Hue, located about ten kilometers west of Hue City in the Kim Long ward. The pagoda, founded in 1973, started as a small thatched hut built for meditation and gradually developed into a Zen monastery with significant influence in the Central Vietnamese Buddhist community. In 1989, to accommodate the growing need for space for study and practice, the Venerable and the monks constructed the Huyen Khong pagoda in the mountains west of Hue.
According to Vietnam News Agency, the pagoda's space includes the main hall, which features a rustic architectural style based on the architecture of Hue's Ruong houses. The building materials, primarily wood and fish scale tiles, reflect the essence of Hue and the soul of Vietnam. In addition to the main hall, the pagoda encompasses art spaces inspired by Japanese garden architecture. Each scene at the pagoda harmonizes with nature, creating an atmosphere of peace.
