Huyen Thien Quan Pagoda
Huyen Thien Quan Pagoda was originally a Taoist pagoda, then converted into a pagoda at the end of the Le Dynasty, currently at 54 Hang Khoai Street. Legend has it that Huyen Thien restaurant was established during the Ly dynasty and soon became famous as one of the "Thang Long Tu restaurants" of Taoism (the other three restaurants include: De Thich restaurant, now King pagoda on Thinh Yen street; Chan Vu restaurant, ie Quan Thanh Temple on Quan Thanh Street; Dong Thien Quan, now Kim Co Pagoda on Duong Thanh Street). At the end of the Le Dynasty, Taoism declined, the shop was converted into a pagoda. The project was renovated and repaired many times and had its architecture shaped since the end of the Nguyen Dynasty in Huyen Thien village, Hau Tuc district, Tho Xuong district. There are two major holidays here on March 3 and September 9 of the lunar calendar every year. Quan Huyen Thien was originally a place to worship Huyen Thien God, the northern god worshiped at Quan Thanh temple. This worship practice appeared in our country since the Northern colonial period. In the shop there is a statue of him made of agarwood. When Taoism declined and Buddhism flourished, the villagers brought the Buddha statue to worship together, and from then on it was also known as Quan Huyen Thien Pagoda or Huyen Thien Temple. The epitaph "Light up Huyen Thien bi minh" in the 10th year of Vinh To clearly states "...This belongs to Dong Xuan ward, Tho Xuong district, Phung Thien... the name is Huyen Thien ancient restaurant... The east side touches the white Nhi Ha river , the west looks to the blue Tan mountain, the south has the bridge (Ha Kieu) and the north has Hong Phuc pagoda, what a wonderful place... The restaurant dates back to the Le Dynasty in the 7th year of Thieu Binh (1439). The stele also says that at that time (in 1628), there were 13 rooms to worship Buddha, Mother Goddess and Huyen Thien. The stele built in the 6th year of Canh Tri (1668) under the reign of King Le Huyen Tong records: The restaurant was decorated with statues, restored three gates, bell tower, corridor, incense burner, upper palace, similar to the style of large pagodas of the Tran dynasty. -Pear. In addition, they were able to "cast a new bell and engrave the book "Holy Taoism and Classics", all four volumes kept at the village. This large-scale restoration was issued by Lord Trinh himself, so there were concubines in the lord's palace and mandarins in the court who contributed merit. In the 1st year of Canh Thinh (1793) during the Tay Son period, the pagoda was restored and the bell was cast. During the Nguyen Dynasty, the pagoda built 7 more back houses in the 21st year of Tu Duc (1868). In the early 20th century, when the French colonialists filled in the lake and expanded the streets, the pagoda shrank. In the 5th year of Bao Dai's reign (1930), most of the pagoda's buildings were rebuilt and shaped into their present form. In the days of resistance in early 1947, the pagoda was destroyed and the statue of Huyen Thien was burned. In 1948, local people and visitors from abroad donated to restore the pagoda according to the old layout of "domestic Cong, foreign nationality". From the outside, it includes the Nghi Mon gate, the bell tower, through the yard to two stele houses, two ancient wells and a 7-compartment worship house built in a gazebo style with 2 floors and 8 roofs, where the god Huyen Thien is worshiped. The incense burner runs along like an upper palace, connecting with two horizontal houses behind. Adjacent to the two gables are two corridors, now used as guest houses. In 2014, the pagoda was restored again after many years of encroachment and degradation. On both sides of the front yard of the worship house, there are 2 large stone stele placed in the stele house. The ancient stele bearing the 6th year of Canh Tri (1668) has a broken surface, many words are no longer there. The Arabic version was printed by the Academy of the Far East before 1945, and is currently kept at the Institute of Sino-Nom Studies. The stele shows the architectural scale of the pagoda at that time and many other information. In addition, there are 40 different large and small steles engraved with Han Nom characters on the walls along both sides of the hall and main hall. There is an article describing the bell weighing 500kg, 1m60 high, cast in the 1st year of Canh Thinh (1793) hanging in the bell tower behind the gate. Like other Tay Son period inscriptions, the Canh Thinh chronology here was erased during the Nguyen dynasty. There are dozens of national language epitaphs, mainly engraved after 1954. In the pagoda, there are also systems of Buddhist statues, Saint statues, Mother Goddess statues, Taoist statues, along with beautiful offerings and decorations.

The temple is built in the shape of the letter "Cong", with Co pavilion, Cau pavilion, in the middle is the Thanh Mau temple, on the right side is the Mau Cuu Trung Thien pavilion. During the anti-French period in 1946, the colonialists suspected there were hidden revolutionary soldiers, so they fired mortars, causing destruction.

Mount Sua Temple
Mount Sua Temple is located on top of Mount Sua in the western area of Thang Long citadel of Thap Tam Trai land, now in Bach Thao Park, Ngoc Ha ward, Ba Dinh district. The temple worships Huyen Thien Hac De - the god who assisted Ly Thanh Tong in fighting the Champa invaders, fighting against foreign invaders, and protecting the independence and autonomy of the nation. The temple was built in the 19th century. According to the legend of Huu Tiep village, before the Ly dynasty, in Sua mountain area, Quang Duc district, Phung Thien district of Thang Long citadel, there was a famous chief named Ly Phuc, married to Hoang Thi Duc from the area. The couple has a rich family background, is tolerant in nature, cultivates virtue, and often takes care of the poor and destitute. There's nothing I don't try to do when it comes to helping people. The only thing is that the couple was three weeks pregnant and still had no children, so they immediately went to the One Pillar Pagoda to pray day and night with incense lamps without end. One day, in the dark temple, suddenly I saw a halo of light shining brightly in one corner, shaped like a torch. The couple dreamed of a white-haired and bearded mandarin holding a baby boy and giving it to his grandparents, saying that this child was the third child of the Jade Emperor, and because he was guilty of breaking the jade cup in heaven, he had to be born. earthly. Now seeing that the couple's family is blessed, Hoang Thien has decided to reincarnate as your child. Saying this, the couple hugged the baby and saw the mandarin fly into the sky and disappear. When they woke up, they knew it was a good dream. Three days later, the wife knew she was pregnant, and since then she has been vegetarian. On January 19, the year of the Tiger, she gave birth to a baby with a handsome face like the one in her dream, with dark skin and an extraordinary appearance. The boy had honey-colored skin. When he was three years old, his family had a ceremony to name him Hac Cong. In that same year, unfortunately, his mother passed away. When he was eight years old, Hac Cong accidentally slipped and fell from a tree and transformed on November 21. The villagers took pity on those who died young, so they set up a shrine on the mountain, and people worshiped in large numbers because their prayers would be fulfilled. When King Ly Thanh Tong led his army to defeat the Champa invaders on the southern border, he dreamed at night that there was a black-skinned boy asking to come and help the King save the country. When entering the battle, the King saw dark clouds covering the sky, covering the enemy's eyes. The great victory contributed to keeping Dai Viet peaceful. The king thought that the dream corresponded to the dream of meeting an angel, so he gave the Han Xuan page 100 francs of money, rebuilt the temple on Sua mountain, and appointed the god Huyen Thien Hac De as the Supreme God of Happiness, everywhere in the Huong region. smoke of worship. The Sua Mountain Festival is held every year on his birthday - January 19 of the lunar calendar. In 2015, Nui Sua Temple was ranked as a historical, cultural, architectural and artistic relic.
