Located on Son Tra peninsula, Linh Ung - Bai But Pagoda (also known as Son Tra Linh Ung Pagoda) is one of the famous spiritual destinations of Da Nang. The pagoda impresses with its unique Buddhist architecture, green space and 67m high Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara statue, facing the sea, one hand holding the Tam Muoi seal, one hand holding the orange vase.
From the pagoda grounds, visitors can take a panoramic view of the city, the beach and the surrounding landscape. In the quiet space, many people stop at the foot of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara statue to offer incense, pray for peace, and record images of this famous destination.
Ms. Dinh Thi Sau (a tourist from Hanoi) said that as a Buddhist, she has long wanted to visit Linh Ung Pagoda once.
I have seen many pictures of Linh Ung Pagoda and always look forward to having the opportunity to come here. When I witnessed the majestic Quan The Am statue between the mountains and the sea, I felt extremely touched. I pray for my family to always be healthy, peaceful and everything to go smoothly," Ms. Sau shared.
Meanwhile, Ms. Nguyen Thuy Duong (a tourist from Hai Phong) was impressed with the harmonious combination of natural scenery and architecture of the pagoda.
What I like most is that from the pagoda yard you can admire the panoramic view of the city and Da Nang beach. The air here is very fresh, quiet, completely different from the bustle in the streets. Just standing for a few minutes also feels more relaxed," Ms. Duong said.
Coming to Da Nang for the first time, Mr. Dao Dang Minh Hoang (Hanoi) said that Linh Ung Pagoda is his priority destination after being introduced by friends.
I am quite surprised because the scale of the pagoda is very large. The space here is spacious, clean and beautiful; although the number of visitors is quite large, it still retains its solemnity. This is one of the places I will definitely return to if I have the opportunity to return to Da Nang," Mr. Hoang shared.
In the early days of August, Linh Ung Pagoda continues to be a stopover for many tourists when coming to Da Nang.
