Attraction

Linh Ung Pagoda

Son Tra, Da Nang

Overview

Da Nang's largest temple sits partway up the Son Tra peninsula beneath its 2010 landmark: a 67m Lady Buddha, visible from across the city, facing the sea as guardian of the fishing fleet. The grounds open onto a panorama running from My Khe beach past downtown to the Hai Van Pass, with an avenue of arhat statues and bonsai courtyards to explore. It's an active temple — cover shoulders and knees.
