Over 10 thousand visitors have flocked to Hoang Phuc Pagoda located in Quang Binh central province’s Le Thuy district during the nine-day Lunar New Year (Tet) festival 2019 to pray for peace and prosperity.
Hoang Phuc pagoda, one of oldest Buddhist places in the province, has a history of over 700 years. Historically, King-Monk Trần Nhân Tông visited the pagoda and conducted prayers for people’s happiness and prosperity in 1301.
The pagoda’s annual festival this year will take place on February 23-24 with many traditional and Buddhist rituals, as well as cultural activities.
