Chongshan Ancient Temple

Chongshan Ancient Temple

Trung Son ancient pagoda is a monumental architectural complex created by monk Thich Buu Hien in 1973 at the historical site of Da Chong mountain (Phung Hoang mountain), in Ninh Hai district, Ninh Thuan province. Initially, the pagoda was just a simple Buddhist church on the mountain, a place where monk Buu Hien used every day as a place to practice, and also a place for relatives and Buddhists to visit, pray to Buddha, and pray for peace. Gradually, the small hut was expanded by the monk, adding additional items and miniatures to serve as a place to rest and enjoy the scenery for relatives and Buddhists from near and far when visiting the Buddha. Through the life of Venerable Thich Buu Hien, to the life of Venerable Thich Tam Tuong. The temple was built on an expanded area and grand scale, including many items such as the three-entrance gate, the main hall, the ancestral hall, etc. In 2012, due to budget constraints, the pagoda only completed the main item first. the temple, the ancestral temple, the courtyard, the three-entrance steps up and down... the three-entrance, miniature landscapes, the area for worshiping outdoor Buddha and Bodhisattva statues,... are still in the process of being completed. Due to the construction in mountainous terrain, it is difficult to distinguish between the front hall, the main hall, the main hall, the three-entrance gate or the ancestral church. That's why the overall pagoda project not only creates vividness with a unique architectural motif, but also creates complexity when identified. After more than 40 years of construction and completion. To this day, the pagoda has had three generations of abbots. These include: Venerable Thich Buu Hien (founder), Venerable Thich Tam Truong (second successor and also a disciple of Venerable Thich Minh Tam, senior brother Thich Buu Hien), Venerable Thich Nguyen Minh (current abbot, disciple of Venerable Thich Tam Truong). In general, the generations of abbots of Trung Son Pagoda all have the bond of "dharma sect". Trung Son Co Tu is more than 60m above sea level. The path leading to the pagoda is a steep, vertical three-step road with nearly 500 steps. Going to the end of the three-step road, the first scene that opens up is the three-entrance gate that is still being built in the pure Vietnamese ancient architectural style. Although not yet completed, when viewed as a whole, the Trung Son Co Tu three-entrance gate is a solid, durable and large project with materials made from concrete, reinforced steel and green stone. Passing the three gates, continuing up is the terrace below, with the highlight being many ornamental trees and a pair of majestic and powerful dragons of the Ly Tran Dynasty. From the terrace, going up the steps, is the architectural complex including the yard, main hall, ancestral church, guest house,... that three generations of abbots built. Ancient Trung Son Pagoda is also famous as a very sacred place as it is the home of two Zen pagodas Truc Lam Vien Ngo and the To communal house of Trung Khanh pagoda.

Ca Du Mountain

Ca Du Mountain is a famous landmark at the junction of National Highway 1A North - South to Ninh Chu, located next to Ca Du Mountain with an altitude of 318m. Ca Du is the Cham name for the camp: Chok Du', meaning mountain shaped like a turtle; Indeed, if we stand from Temple Mound and look at the mountain, we see a turtle or a turtle crawling towards the sea. The higher you go up Ca Du mountain, the cooler it becomes because of the structure of the caves. From here, visitors can see a panoramic view of Ninh Chu beach resort, Phuong Cuu salt fields, Dam Vua, golden rice fields of Ninh Hai district and in the distance is Da Chong mountain. It is this beauty that has contributed to enhancing the beauty of Ca Du Mountain. With rocks piled up on top of each other and many large caves and nooks and crannies, Ca Du mountain is quite dangerous. Because of this terrain, in the early years of the Can Vuong movement, the insurgents chose Ca Du mountain as a base to fight against the French. Also from here, reconnaissance teams, armed forces and revolutionary cadres throughout the years of the resistance war against the US have stayed put to build bases and organize to eliminate traitors and traitors. Along with the revolutionary war zones at that time such as Bac Ai, Anh Dung, CK 7, 19, 35, Ca Du mountain base had a very important position in the middle of the temporarily occupied area, closest to the people and also closest to the enemy. , but the Ca Du base is inviolable. Although the enemy tried every way to destroy it, the enemy's raids, sieges, and counter-attacks were all repelled by the resistance troops clinging to Ca Du mountain. Through many years of holding on and enduring all hardships, the resistance forces in Ca Du mountain have maintained their faith in the revolution. Ca Du Mountain is a place where food cannot be produced, even drinking water needs to be supplied. Understanding this, the enemy used every trick to destroy all sources of supply from the people to the revolutionary forces. But with passionate patriotism and strong faith in the Revolution, the people in the area of ​​Dua hamlet, Du Khanh... were not afraid of hardships and sacrifices to find every way to supply food to the guerrillas. The enemy blocked the road, people transported by water through Dam Nai. It was the support of the people around the region that empowered the revolutionary cadres and created legends about the "outrageous" battles of the resistance forces. That evidence still remains in the memories of the people of Ninh Thuan province today. It is the historical significance of the revolution in the two resistance wars for national liberation that on April 16, 1999 - the anniversary of the liberation of Ninh Thuan, the Provincial People's Committee decided to recognize Ca Du Mountain as a relic. history of the province.

Hoa Lai Tower Relics

Hoa Lai Tower Relics

Hoa Lai Tower, an ancient tower is said to be one of the oldest Cham structures still in existence. Hoa Lai Tower is located right on National Highway 1A, in Ba Thap village, Bac Phong commune, Thuan Bac district, Ninh Thuan province. The tower was built around the 6th to 9th centuries, with unique artistic architecture of the ancient Champa kingdom of Panduranga region. Hoa Lai Tower was recognized by the Ministry of Culture and Information as a National Historical Monument in 1997. As of December 22, 2016, it was ranked as a special national monument. In the past, this place used to have three towers, so it was called Ba Thap, but due to the erosion of time and historical fluctuations, one tower collapsed. Indigenous people also call this tower Hoa Lai tower instead of the previous name Ba Thap. Different from the architecture of Po Klong Garai tower, the architectural style of Hoa Lai tower stands out with arched doors with many round noses, octagonal wall pillars with curved leaf-shaped decoration. Coming to Hoa Lai Tower, you will see with your own eyes the extremely delicate art of construction and sculpture of the Champa people. The tower is an architectural whole including the North tower, middle tower and South tower. Currently, only the central tower remains due to severe damage in the 9th century. This place is known as an ancient relic area with many auxiliary works surrounding the tower, but over time only a few remain. Traces remain such as city walls, brick kilns... The unique feature of the Hoa Lai tower cluster is the extremely sophisticated decorative style with patterned lines on the outside of the tower's face limited to the arches, pillars and roof frills. Each tower project has its own beauty but is built in extremely harmony with each other. The North Tower is built of bricks, with carved patterns on the walls of birds, animals, leaves, flowers... very impressive. In the East direction of the North Tower there is only one entrance, the remaining three directions are all fake doors. Inside the tower, there are triangular boxes to attach lights to when making offerings. The South Tower is the tallest, also built of bricks and carved with patterns on the walls but not yet completed. The entire tower body looks like a massive cube rising from a square base and supporting a system of smaller floors. After more than 1,000 years and many historical ups and downs, the beauty of Hoa Lai Tower still endures over the years and retains the unique artistic values ​​in the architecture and sculpture of the ancient Cham people.
