Nestled in the mountainous forests of Quang Ninh provine, the Ngoa Van Pagoda and Hermitage Complex stands as a revered spiritual destination. This is the sacred site where King-Monk Tran Nhan Tong practised asceticism and attained enlightenment. It was recognised as a Special National Relic in 2014.

Located in Dong Trieu district, the northern province of Quang Ninh, Ngoa Van pagoda relic complex is a sacred pilgrimage site attracting tourists all year round. It is where Buddha-Emperor Tran Nhan Tong (1258-1308) founded the Truc Lam Zen Monastery, a line of Buddhist meditation imbued with Vietnamese culture, and attained Nirvana.
