Kim Son Bao Thang Tu - The sacred temple on the top of Fansipan

Fansipan Peak – “the roof of Indochina” – is not only famous for its majestic scenery but also for its complex of spiritual structures amidst the clouds and sky. The highlight of which is Kim Son Bao Thang Tu, a sacred symbol of the blending of nature and Vietnamese Buddhist culture. Now, thanks to the YooLife digital platform, visitors can admire this ancient pagoda in a vivid virtual space, opening up a new experience of spiritual tourism in the digital age.

Where is Kim Son Bao Thang Tu located?

Kim Son Bao Thang Pagoda is located at an altitude of 3,091m, just a few hundred meters from the top of Fansipan. Located on a steep mountainside, covered by white clouds and mist all year round, the pagoda appears like a magical picture in the clouds of the Northwest.

From afar, the majestic shape of the pagoda, its curved tiled roofs soaring among the clouds, makes anyone feel like they are lost in a fairyland. With such a special location, this place is not only a sacred pilgrimage destination but also an intersection between nature and spirituality, where people find peace between heaven and earth.

Unique architecture of Kim Son Bao Thang Pagoda

Kim Son Bao Thang Tu has the bold appearance of ancient temple architecture from the Tran Dynasty, demonstrating the subtle blend of traditional art and modern construction techniques.

Tran Dynasty ancient style

The pagoda was designed in the “inner public outer private” style – a typical architectural style of ancient Vietnamese pagodas, with two corridors running along the front hall and the back hall. This style is reminiscent of ancient temples in the North such as Thay Pagoda, Boi Khe Pagoda, Thai Lac Pagoda, expressing the spirit of inheriting and promoting national cultural values.

Structure in harmony with nature

One of the factors that creates the unique beauty of Kim Son Bao Thang Tu is the harmony with the Fansipan mountain landscape. The pagoda has a structure of five compartments, each compartment is under 10m high, arranged harmoniously on a solid stone foundation. The main materials are natural wood combined with glazed terracotta tiles, minimizing concrete, helping the structure to maintain its rustic and durable features in the harsh climate. The soft curved roof, dragon - cloud - ancient motifs are meticulously carved, symbolizing the purity and sacredness of the Buddha realm.

Solemn worship space

Entering the main hall, visitors will immediately feel the calm and solemn atmosphere. The central altar enshrines a 3.8m high Amitabha Buddha statue, crafted from jackfruit wood, lacquered and gilded with brilliant gold. Surrounding it are statues of Buddha, Bodhisattva and Arhat arranged symmetrically, clearly demonstrating the familiar "Buddha first - Saint later" philosophy in Vietnamese Buddhist culture. The entire space radiates purity and peace, like a peaceful place in the middle of the Northwest.
