Linh Ung Pagoda Son Tra

Linh Ung Pagoda Son Tra is a prominent Buddhist pagoda located on the Son Tra Peninsula in Son Tra District, Da Nang. Built between 2004 and 2010, it is the largest of the three Linh Ung pagodas in Da Nang. The complex is notable for its 67-meter Lady Buddha statue, considered the tallest in Vietnam, its hilltop coastal setting overlooking the East Sea, and its blend of traditional Vietnamese pagoda architecture with scenic natural surroundings.

Visitors can expect a large Buddhist temple complex set on a hillside of the Son Tra Peninsula with views over Da Nang Bay and the East Sea. The site includes a main hall with Buddha statues, courtyard with 18 Arhat statues, landscaped gardens, and the 67-meter white Lady Buddha statue facing the sea. The area is open and spacious with paved courtyards, steps, and pine trees. Visitors can walk through halls, view religious statues, take photographs of the coastal panorama, and observe worship activities.

Construction of Linh Ung Pagoda Son Tra began on June 19, 2004 and was completed on July 30, 2010. It was built as the largest among the three Linh Ung pagodas in Da Nang (Son Tra, Ba Na and Ngu Hanh Son) and has since become a major Buddhist landmark of the city.

The pagoda is an important Buddhist religious site and pilgrimage destination in central Vietnam. The Lady Buddha statue represents Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva and is regarded as a spiritual protector for fishermen and local residents. The complex serves as a center for worship, festivals and cultural activities.
