In a collaborative effort between the Forest Protection Department of the southern province of Bac Lieu and Phat Quang Pagoda, nine wild animals were released back into their natural habitat at U Minh Ha National Park in the southernmost province of Ca Mau on June 11.

Located in Thanh Phong commune, Thanh Liem district, Ha Nam province, some 70km south of Hanoi, Phat Quang is a small pagoda more than a hundred years old. It has become a place of practice, preaching and pilgrimage for domestic and foreign tourists in recent years after being rebuilt with unique architecture.
