Tay Phuong pagoda


 

 

Tay Phuong Pagoda (Pagoda of the West) in Hanoi, also known as Sung Phuc Pagoda, consists of three single level structure-built in descending order on a hillock said to resemble a buffalo. The figures representing 'the conditions of man1 are carved from jackfruit wood, many dating from the 18th century, and are the pagoda's most celebrated feature, The earliest construction here dates from the 8th century. Take the steep steps up to the main pagoda building, then find a path at the back that loops down past the other two pagodas and wanders through the hillside village that surrounds the complex.
