Anyone who has visited different Buddhist places of worship will agree with me that all temples, khuruli, datsans, stupas, etc. are similar. However, each place has its own architectural, landscape and simply a wide variety of other features. It's here too, I'll try to formulate it. First of all, the gate, which reminded Parisian Notre Dame with its gargoyles, only here on the contrary - dragons. Seriously, the gates are solid, patterned, and beautiful.. There are many lawns and flowerpots on the territory (rhyme), statues, vases, various architectural and landscape decorations, trees, flowers.. In general, the beauty and riot of greenery. I liked the rather large (7-meter) white statue of the Buddhist monk Bodhisattva Thit Quang Duc, who gave his life for the faith. In protest against the unlimited conversion of Buddhists to Catholicism, a monk burned himself to death in South Vietnamese Saigon in 1963. The monument to the monk was erected here in 2004, by the way, it is granite. I photographed the monument, because that's what I like to photograph.. If you go further and start climbing the stairs, you will reach a reclining concrete white Buddha with swastikas on his heels (Buddhist swastikas are a symbol of the sun). The Buddha is lying on his side, stretched out to his full 17-meter height. The temple complex is decorated with a bright and beautiful pagoda built in 1886 (with numerous subsequent changes, of course) with outbuildings, colorful halls, altars and sculptures. I was most impressed by the multi-armed goddess Avalokiteshvara (here, as I understood it, it is the female manifestation characteristic of the Vietnamese pantheon), the Lord graciously looking at beings, the Mahayana Buddha, the Buddha of compassion, born from the light of the eyes of the Buddha of infinite light Amitabha. I stood at the altar for a long time, looking at it.. I really liked this temple complex, it's a good one.. I bought a small stone Buddha in a souvenir shop there.
A great place for tourists!
It's still free to enter, not very equipped, there's a lot of trash around, and the entire road to this landmark is covered in mud and debris.
The statue itself is majestic, with beautiful views of the city, and the status of an active temple.
One of the attractions of Nha Trang
The place is worth visiting and visiting inside the Buddha, this place has a great history, It is worth visiting this place and seeing all the sights inside, get ready to climb the steps from there are not a few
The monastery is a 30-40-minute walk from Nha Trang city center. My wife and I, for example, were able to get here from the DTX hotel. Our way lay through the Catholic church.
A staircase leads to the Buddha statue. But this is not just a staircase, but something special: a Buddha lies in the middle of it, and a big Buddha sits at the top. This place is perfect for taking beautiful photos and buying souvenirs. For example, we have acquired excellent aromatic pyramids. Admission to the monastery is free.
The White Buddha is located in the city center, visible from many hotels. You can get there on your own, we rode a bike. Parking is paid, about 20 thousand dong. The pagoda itself was closed, repairs were underway, and the ascent to the Buddha was free. There's also a reclining Buddha, don't miss it.
An interesting and beautiful view! Visit and you won't regret it. The only thing is, if you come as a tourist with bare knees and elbows, you will be asked to cover them up. You can buy a long handkerchief (100-130k) on the spot or take it with you.
They didn't let us into the church because they were wearing shorts, they forgot to cover their shoulders and knees, but we walked around the territory and took pictures there, a beautiful big buddha

The place where they take you on a sightseeing tour. In general, it is also available for independent visits. Interestingly, like many similar complexes, the reclining Buddha is especially impressive. Admission is free.
I didn't like it: there are a lot of beggars and guys who try to stuff something into you and then ask for money. So, the girl, smiling sweetly, gave me three sticks of incense to put near the Buddha, and then said that I owed 100t dong))
We visit the pagoda all the time when we come to Nha Trang, who is already our tradition, we climb the steps to the top to the big Buddha, you can go inside him, a wonderful temple, worth a visit
The place is very atmospheric, we liked it. No one came to us, we didn't take anything from anyone and didn't buy anything. We walked freely. We were without excursions
It's a wonderful place, the climb is easy, you're not even tired. Of course, merchants stick at the entrance, but they easily come off when they refuse
It was impossible to go to the temple, they looked at the Buddha, there are no special impressions, but it is necessary to visit, for locals this is an important object, there are many flowers and greenery near the temple
An interesting place! You can visit! Girls in shorts and T-shirts are not allowed inside, but it's no less interesting outside! Buddha on Hainan is much more interesting and bigger! But it has its own flavor!
