What holds on to visitors' footsteps is not just legends about holy traces imprinted on this majestic place, but also the colors of nature and unique vegetation layers that seem very small but strangely charming.

The wall of red leaves (locally called the “cow lung” or “copperleaf”) was planted in the yard of Van Linh Pagoda many years ago. The plants are growing more luxuriantly, blooming brilliantly and extremely lushly. They form a red wall that adorns the pagoda with more colors, incense, and ethereal and enchanting beauty.

The wall of red leaves honors the beauty of the holy place.

While copperleaf plants easily decolor in other places, it is strange that this wall of copperleaf plants in Van Linh Pagoda grows very luxuriantly. Not only does it decorate the pagoda scenery, generate positive emotions and purify the air and atmosphere for us to ease the mind and reduce stress, but this plant is also considered a unique forest vegetable, good for health and for easing skin diseases, digestive symptoms and rheumatism.

Therefore, there is a folk verse, literally translated:

“That Son is not only sacred

But a place for medicinal plants from all over the world to grow.”

Copperleaf plants remain brilliant in any position of the wall
