Behind the Tam Chuc Pagoda is the That Tinh Mountain and facing
the pagoda is Luc Nhac Lake including six rocky islands, which are said to be
the six bells brought down from heaven to the lake.
This is a limestone submerged area with many historical cultural
relics and landscapes in the area and nearby regions.
The pagoda wall was rebuilt with 12,000 stone paintings
depicting the legends of Buddha craved into the volcano rock by Indonesian
artisans and a garden of 1,000 stone pillars carved with Buddhist teachings.
The Tam Chuc complex covers 44ha including main facilities of
Dien Tam The (Main Hall of Three Worlds) , Ngoc pagoda, Tam Chuc temple, Mau
temple, and others which have been completed to serve visitors.
Dien Tam The has three bronze Buddha statues inside, each
weighing up to 80 tonnes.
The Ngoc Pagoda is built on the top of the That Tinh Mountain
and is made of 2000-tonne stone blocks jointly constructed by Indian and
Vietnamese engineers.
The International Convention Centre serving the UN Day of Vesak
is located within the Tam Chuc complex and is built in a shape of a floating
boat on a lake.
During the UN Day of Vesak 2019 from May 12-14, the centre is
expected to welcome about 1,650 international delegates from 112 countries
and territories and more than 20,000 domestic delegates.
With the beautiful landscape and cool climate, the area of Tam
Chuc Pagoda is considered as "Ha Long on land" of Ha Nam province,
which promises to be an interesting and impressive place for the delegates.
