Linh Ung Pagoda in Son Tra is famous for its huge Lady Buddha statue overlooking the sea. From the temple grounds, you get a wide view over the Da Nang coastline and toward My Khe Beach.

It's set some distance from downtown, so it's best to plan around taking Grab or a car. The Marble Mountains are in a different direction, so if you pair them on the same day, allow enough travel time.

Useful tips

  • Because it's a temple, avoid revealing clothing, and on windy days keep an eye on hats and belongings.
  • For view photos, the light is better in the morning or late afternoon when it's softer.
  • When planning, it's easy to group Son Tra Peninsula and the Marble Mountains as if they were the same mountain. But according to official guidance, Linh Ung Pagoda in Son Tra is in Bai But on the Son Tra Peninsula, about 10km from downtown, so it's less of a stretch to plan it as a separate north-coast route.

Frequently asked questions

Is it easy to make a round trip by taxi from downtown Da Nang?

In general, getting there by car is the usual option. There may be times when it's hard to get a return ride right away, so factor in round-trip ride-hailing or waiting time.

Can I just see the Lady Buddha statue and leave right away?

The official tourism guide introduces the temple's layout with Son Tra Mountain at its back and the sea ahead, views of Da Nang Bay and My Khe Beach, and the architecture within the grounds. Leave time to quietly look around the main hall and courtyard rather than only taking photos.
