TPO - As the Lunar New Year of the Year of the Snake approaches, many young women are dressing up in traditional ao dai dresses to check in at Co Am Pagoda - the most sacred pagoda in Nghe An province.

Young people choose traditional Vietnamese ao dai dresses and accessories for their photoshoots.

Hoang Bao Han (18 years old, residing in Dien Chau district) and her group of friends arrived at the temple early to take photos. The peaceful scenery and atmosphere of the temple made the young people feel serene during the days leading up to Tet (Lunar New Year). “The whole group planned to rent traditional Vietnamese dresses, get makeup done, and choose the ideal time to take photos to take advantage of natural light and get many satisfying pictures. The scenery at the temple is very beautiful,” Han shared.

The temple grounds are spacious and beautifully decorated, providing young people with plenty of photo opportunities.

Many families also visited the temple to worship and take photos.

Co Am Pagoda (Minh Chau commune, Dien Chau district, Nghe An province ) was built during the Late Le Dynasty (from the 15th century). Having endured over 600 years and many historical ups and downs, in December 1994, Co Am Pagoda was recognized as a National Historical Monument by the Ministry of Culture and Information.

Co Am Pagoda is not only a scenic spot with many unique architectural structures, but also a spiritual destination that attracts many locals and tourists from all over to come and offer incense and admire the scenery.
