Tràng An landscaped complex
Pagoda Bái Đính
Located on the karst mountain range of Tràng An in Ninh Bình, the Bái Đinh pagoda has a long history dating back several centuries. Its fame has been attested for a long time under successive dynasties: Đinh, Early Lê, and Lý. Today, it has become a religious complex where one can find not only the ancient temple but also new temples under construction since 2003. The Bái Đính pagoda is considered in Southeast Asia as the pagoda housing the gigantic bronze Buddha statue imported from Russia. It has a height of 16 meters and weighs 100 tons. The 500 white marble arhats of the pagoda are spread over approximately 2 kilometers along a corridor. This complex has a total area of 539 hectares, of which 27 hectares are attributed to the old pagoda, 80 hectares to the new temples, a Buddhist study center, reception areas, parking lots, as well as a system of lakes
