Vinh Khanh Temple Binh Son Pagoda
VIETNAM, Vinh Phuc, Lap Thach
Binh Son means Flat Mountain and the pagoda is located within Vinh Khanh (Forever Celebrated) Temple. Although the temple was built during the Ly dynasty (1009–1225), there are no records of the construction of the pagoda. It underwent large-scale restoration in 1973.
The 11-story square pagoda is made of brick and is hollow. It is 15 m high and stands on an undecorated square base platform. The exterior is covered with images of dragons, phoenixes, lotuses, chrysanthemum, and other decorative elements.
