  • 2-day Halong bay private boat trip and Yen Duc village in Dong Trieu

    2-day Halong bay private boat trip and Yen Duc village in Dong Trieu

    This two-day-one-night tour is designated for those who want to discover the heritage land of Vietnam: Halong Bay and Yen Duc agricultural village or Bac Ninh, the lovely province well known as the land of Quan Ho folk songs, land of rich culture, unique traditions, belief religions, interesting legends and tumultuous history of Northern Vietnam.


First built in 1886 and an important center for Vietnamese Buddhism, the Long Son Pagoda has been rebuilt many times over the years, most recently in 1990. The 46-foot (14-meter) white Buddha dates back to 1964, and his 33-foot (10-meter) pedestal is decorated with pictures of burning monks who sacrificed themselves to protest the tyranny of the American-backed South Vietnamese regime. Most every Nha Trang city tour and shore excursion includes a stop here and a guide can really enhance the experience—not least by shooing away scammers and aggressive vendors.

Things to know before you go

  • There’s no charge to visit the Long Son Pagoda.
  • The pagoda is a place of worship. Please dress modestly, covering shoulders, upper arms, and legs to the knees.
  • Sadly, Long Son Pagoda is a mecca for grifters and hustlers. If you want to donate to the monks, put your money in the marked donation boxes.
  • Steps mean the pagoda is not accessible with wheelchairs or strollers.

How to get there

Long Son Pagoda sits in the heart of Nha Trang, about a 5-minute walk west of the train station.

When to get there

The pagoda is open seven days a week but closes in the middle of the day for a lengthy lunch break. Visit early in the week for a less crowded experience.

Where Are the Best Views in Nha Trang?

Long Son Pagoda’s Big Buddha can be seen from across Nha Trang, but his hilltop position offers sweeping city views as well. For views of the ocean and the rugged coastline, visit Hon Chong, a narrow granite promontory framed by blue waters, or board the Vinpearl Cable Car for a thrilling 2-mile (3-kilometer) ride over the sea to Vinpearl Land on Hon Tre Island.
