Thanh Mai pagoda was built by Venerable Phap Loa (the second ancestor of Truc Lam Yen Tu Zen Buddhism) around 1329.

Thanh Mai pagoda was built on Phat Tich mountain, also known as Tam Ban mountain, in Hoang Hoa Tham commune, Chi Linh city, around 1329 by Venerable Phap Loa (the second ancestor of Truc Lam Yen Tu Zen Buddhism)

Venerable Phap Loa’s relics are placed in Vien Thong Bao Thap (tower) behind the pagoda

A system of stone stelae is kept at the pagoda, including the national treasure Vien Thong Thap Bi

Thanh Mai pagoda festival is often held from the 1st day to the 3rd day of the 3rd lunar month

Every year, tourists can admire the enchanting change in color of maple leaves from the foot of the mountain to the pagoda when autumn comes

Tam Ban mountain is brilliant with red maple trees

The main road to Thanh Mai pagoda is strangely beautiful
