Featured attractions

In the temple, at the entrance of the Mahavira Hall, there are statues of Sakyamuni Buddha, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Tripitaka. The four protectors and the eighteen Arhats lined up in two rows on both sides of the road leading to the main hall. The arhat statue is delicately carved and no less vivid. The main hall is built in a modern style, combining the curved tile roof of traditional Vietnamese architecture. The strong pillars of the main hall are also surrounded by intricately carved, winding dragons.

The most special destination that any visitor to Lingyen Temple will want to experience is to explore inside the tower of the 12-story Buddha statue of Shiyin Bodhisattva. From these seventeen towers, you can get the most perfect view of the city, mountains and Son Tra Island. Looking further outside, the Five Elements Mountains and the beach surrounded by long stretches of fine white sand are clearly visible. In the early morning or afternoon when the sun rises, the clear blue sky blows with a cool breeze, giving people a good impression that is rare elsewhere. At night, visitors can look down from the temple gate and see a long string of city lights like shooting stars in the sparkling night sky.

You can see the white jade Guanyin Bodhisattva statue in the temple in many places in Da Nang. Although Linh Ung Temple does not charge admission, it still charges some money, but you can also donate some incense money. If you want to go in and visit, you need to take off your shoes, and the dress is too short. Need to borrow a robe.
