Tranquil and beautiful atmosphere but it’s a bit overrated and crowded, so there’s that.
The best ever place I have visited... In my opinion, Best Season to visit could be Autumn, Winter or Rainy. No hotels or restaurants around so keep your food and drinks with you. No entry fees. I would say.... Must visit place for silence and peace....
Recommend hẻre if you are interested in Buddhism culture and art. Visiting the pagoda, visitors will be surprised by the path leading to the pagoda which is covered in gravel instead of being paved with red bricks like other pagodas. The layout of the pagoda also is different. In front of the main chamber, twelve circles are drawn on the gravel background, featuring twelve human destinies. The statue of Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha is placed solemnly inside the chamber. On the right of the main chamber, the ancestral hall is a worshipping place for 42 generations of monks of the pagoda. There is a small hall dedicated to Quan The Am (Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva), Duc Ong and Duc Thanh Hien, a housing area for monks and nuns and Buddhists followers in the pagoda, a lecture hall where Buddhist followers listen to the head monk’s daily sermon and a guest house for tourists and those participating in retreats and experiences at the pagoda.
A special place that brings an atmosphere of a real Japanese Zen temple. An incredibly well-groomed space. It is one of the most impressive temples I have seen during my trip to Vietnam. The territory of the temple is large, so you can climb for about 10 minutes to see statues representing different stages of Buddha's life. As a solo traveler, I was unsure if I should spend time at this temple standing aside from main touristic places, but I fell in love with it. It's a magical place I want to return to! A main hall is dedicated to Buddha, with a large statue surrounded by several smaller ones. There are also two temples dedicated to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and a beautiful Canon temple with a stunning statue. Between them all, you will find elegant altars with statues of Manjushri and other Bodhisattvas made from white jade.
This is an absolutely gorgeous site, with Buddhists (volunteers) meticulously taking care of it non-stop. There were Buddhists trimming the shrubs and foliage, others tending to the zen garden areas, and many others sweeping the temple grounds all over to keep things clean. The temples themselves are quite beautiful, with peaceful walkways and even some pretty little bridges here and there to cross over to the different areas. There's also another temple up the mountain, about 300 steps up, but it's not as ornate as the ones on the main level. Construction seems to be ongoing currently on the left and right sides, which might be to expand the area, but the noise from it wasn't disruptive when we were there. There is no fee to visit, as with most temples in Vietnam.
