Introduction

Long Son Pagoda is a typical Vietnamese temple, but it also has strong Chinese influences. From the Chinese characters on the gate to the dragon-carved pillars, it is filled with elements of Chinese culture. Despite its modest size, the temple attracts many devout followers who come here to meditate and pay their respects to the Buddha. If you happen to visit during a ceremony, you will experience a sense of tranquility. Climbing 150 steps will lead you to the terrace on the back hill of the temple, where a 24-meter white Buddha statue sits atop a lotus flower, overlooking Nha Trang. From here, you can also enjoy the beautiful views of the city.
