Vo Vi is an ancient pagoda built in 968. Although it has a history of more than 6 centuries, Vo Vi pagoda is not known to many people, and around the pagoda is often quiet and peaceful. About 25 km from the center of Hanoi, Vo Vi Pagoda is located on a rocky mountain about 300 m high, surrounded by trees and lakes. The pagoda is surrounded by dozens of tall, rough frangipani trees, casting a shadow that obscures the entire small pagoda. During the blooming season, the scent of flowers lingers as if leading people into a place of leisure and pleasure, the space is as quiet as space. Legend has it that Vo Vi is an ancient pagoda built in 968. During the Early Le Dynasty, the pagoda was built at the foot of Mount Trao (980-1004) and was called Phuc Tru Tu. During the Tran Dynasty, the pagoda was built on the back of the mountain called Trai Tinh Tu. During the Later Le Dynasty, the 6th year of Hong Thuan (1514), the pagoda moved to near the top of the mountain like today, and changed its name to Vo Vi Tu as in the Dinh Dynasty. Vo Vi Pagoda is associated with general Tran Van Tang, who became a monk at a young age. After fighting against internal and external enemies, he went to Vo Vi mountain to build a temple in hiding. As a person imbued with Taoist ideology, he named the pagoda Vo Vi with the spirit expressed in the poem "Duplicate Vo Vi Tu" composed by himself and engraved on stone. Stepping through the arch of the gate with three Chinese characters "Vo Vi Tu", a small road with stone steps takes visitors to the front hall, model house, and then the main hall. Only about a few hundred steps, but the path to Vo Vi pagoda is not too easy, the higher you go, the narrower and steeper it gets. Unlike the usual large-scale pagodas, Vo Vi Pagoda is more than 10 square meters wide, the design does not follow the usual rules of Dinh shape or foreign Noi Cong, but is only modest with a single compartment and tiled roof. Comedy nose with simple columns and small beams of wood and stone. In the temple, there are only the Three Jewels and statues of Buddha and saints. On both sides are two majestic Dharma Protectors. On the side of the church is a small, craggy path along the mountain. The space behind opens to a small floor designed with a curved roof, bricks, and many pillars, like a meditation place for monks. Right next to it is Vo Vi mountain with Nghenh Phong pavilion at the top, where there is also a small bell cast in 1814. Next to the side of the pagoda is a small path that can only fit one person, leading to Nghenh Phong floor. Looking down from above, the layers of roofs skillfully alternate like a link between Vo Vi Pagoda and this attic for centuries. A special feature of Nghenh Phong floor is that on the top of the roof there is a yin and yang image of Lac Viet inside the eight trigrams. This image is drawn on two halves of pink bricks assembled so that from this central point, the beams, columns, and rafters radiate down according to strict architectural rules. The yin and yang image of Lac Viet is the pride of the cultural identity of the Vietnamese people, a small motif but strong enough to affirm the nationality and independence of Vietnamese culture, and cannot be mixed with any other culture. transformed. From Nghenh Phong tower, to reach the highest peak of Vo Vi mountain, visitors must climb about twenty steep stone steps and crawl through narrow rock crevices to reach the top.

The insurgents completely occupied the inside of the station, but upstairs, the enemy still stubbornly used guns to shoot sporadically, at the same time calling Saigon and Thu Dau Mot for emergency help. Because he was eager to capture the name of Tho District, comrade Do Van Day climbed up to the upper floor of the Station by clinging to the gutter. Halfway up, he was hit by bullets, the comrade fell and died later. The battle was at a standstill when enemy reinforcements arrived. Unable to hold out, the insurgents withdrew from the town, dispersed to the villages, the armed forces withdrew to Ben Do hamlet (Tan Phu Trung) and then moved to My Hanh hamlet (Duc Hoa).
