VietNamNet Bridge – Experiencing a lot of floods, the soil-made Buddha statues of hundreds of years old at the Nom Temple in Hung Yen province are still intact. This temple attracts many visitors.

The Nom Temple is located in the village of Nom, Dai Dong commune, Van Lam district, Hung Yen province.

It was built hundreds of years ago. Two large steles behind the temple note the data from
the Later-Le Dynasty. In 1680, after taking the throne, the king rebuilt the temple.

In 1796, the temple was expended. This is the home to 122 soil-made statues of hundreds
of years old. Venerable Thich Dong Hue said the statues were restored by the villagers in 1997.

Floods in 1971 and 1986 engulfed many parts of the northern region, including
Nom village. The statues were submerged in water for several days
but they are still intact.

The statues describe human emotions.

The Guan Yin tower is located in the middle of the lake.
