Check out the Linh Ung Pagoda

If you are a person of religion, or simply someone who’s looking for a quiet and tranquil place, then Linh Ung Pagoda might be the perfect place waiting for you. Linh Ung – Bai But Pagoda stands on the 20-hectare land of Son Tra mountain with many items: the main hall, the lecture hall, the ancestral house, the road halls, the library, the cafeteria, and the Arhat statue garden. The pagoda is a combination between the contemporary style and the traditional style of Vietnamese temples. The most important and visible highlight of the Linh Ung pagoda is the Lady Buddha statue – the tallest one in Vietnam (67m high). It is also placed on a 35m-high lotus diameter, making the total height over 100 meters, equivalent to a 30-floor building. The statue stands facing the sea, with one hand praying and the other one holding a pitcher of nectar, as if she is blessing the fishermen who were reaching out to sea for a quiet, peaceful and successful crop. If you visit the pagoda in the early morning, you will be impressed by the stunning view with the sunrise, while listening to the sound of the seawind and natural sounds of the birds, staying away from the busy city.
