Statue (Linh Ung Pagoda) - DANANG, VIETNAM

Just 9 km away from the city center, Linh Ung – Bai But Pagoda is considered as the largest pagoda in Da Nang City in both scale and art of architecture. The Pagoda brings a contemporary style combined with inherent tradition of pagodas in Vietnam, with curved roof in dragon shape, the solid pillars surrounded by sophisticated sinuous dragons.

Linh Ung literally means ‘wishes answered miraculously’. Linh Ung Pagoda was laid the first burial stone on June 19, 2004 of the lunar calendar and after 6 years of construction on July 30, 2010 (on June 19, Canh Dan), it was officially inaugurated.

In the courtyard, there are 18 Arhat statues representing different emotions such as love, hate, happiness and anger. This is also a venue for local craftsmen to show off their talents in carving marble statues. These statues contribute to the architectural uniqueness of Linh Ung Pagoda.
