Bảo Lộc Temple

Храм Бао Лок

Construction of the temple began in 1928 and lasted 5 years. The building is designed in the shape of the Chinese character for "life/king" (Ж-shape) and includes front, middle, and rear (harem) sections. The architecture is in the traditional style: brick columns and reinforced concrete beams are adorned with carvings of sacred animals (dragons) and floral motifs (pine, chrysanthemum, bamboo, apricot). Of particular note are the six carved wooden door panels in the Nguyễn dynasty style.

The heart of the temple is a majestic 4.8-ton seated bronze statue of Trần Hưng Đạo. In the rear section stands a statue crafted from precious agarwood. The complex also honors the general's companions and family members, including his son Hưng Vũ Vương Nhiễn and his son-in-law Phạm Ngũ Lão.

Every year on the 20th day of the 8th lunar month, marking the death anniversary of the general, a large-scale traditional festival takes place here, bringing together pilgrims from all over Vietnam.
