For those after the most stunning view of Danang City by the beautiful Han River, then get your boots and climbing gear on as you will have to head to Linh Ung Bai But Pagoda on Son Tra peninsula.
Located on Son Tra peninsula, the pagoda looks onto the quiet East Sea, on the left of which is Cu Lao Cham Island and on the right is Hai Van Mountain. The pagoda is famous for its beautiful Kwan Yin statue 67 meters tall and views of Danang, one of the most dynamic and beautiful cities in central Vietnam. And on the flip side, people living in the city can see the huge Kwan Yin statue from almost everywhere.

There is a legend concerning the stunning beach below about villagers, who lived and breathed fishing, one day finding a huge statue of Buddha drifting on the beach. They then perched the statue on high as a landmark to help support villagers through rough storms and keep them safe from sea creatures.
The pagoda area is always crowded with tourists and citizens, especially during weekends - Photos: Pham Thai
