    Visit Khai Nguyen Pagoda
    Khai Nguyen Pagoda in Son Tay, also known as Tan Vien Pagoda, with its full name Tan Vien Son Quoc Tu, dates back to the Ly Dynasty in the early 11th century. Built upon an ancient foundation and following traditional architecture, the pagoda was recently restored in 2008, beautifully preserving its blend of ancient and modern elements without disrupting its historical space and value. Nestled in a peaceful and picturesque countryside, the pagoda features a perfectly square pond, lush greenery, and fragrant flowers blooming throughout the four seasons. This serene environment offers a tranquil atmosphere for Buddhists and visitors when they enter the pagoda.
    Visit Son Tay Ancient Citadel
    The citadel was built in the 3rd year of Minh Mang’s reign (1822) and is the only ancient fortress in Vietnam constructed from laterite stone. It features unique architecture, such as laterite stone walls and four ancient brick gates. It is one of the few remaining fortresses from the Minh Mang era, built solidly to protect the northwestern region of Thang Long.
