Thay Pagoda
Thay Pagoda, the "Temple of the Master" was erected during the reign of Ly Nhan Tong, the founder of Hanoi capital. This site is a pagoda and a small bridge. Chua Thay is dedicated to the creator of water puppetry, the venerable monk Tu Dao Hanh, known for his exemplary religious life.
The pagoda consists of two buildings. Face with the pagoda is a beautiful lake (called "dragon pond") brings gentleness and tranquility to the site. This is the place of water puppet on the occasion of festivals.
From the pagoda, a trail lead to the top of the mountain pierced with caves. At the top, there is a large smooth rock that had been said as the market of heaven where fairies and genies come there to shop and play chess during a full moon.
