8km Southwest of Da Nang center, the 1st Linh Ung Pagoda on Marble Mountain is one of the most famous sights of Da Nang. This pagoda is also called Ngoai Pagoda.
On the 6th year of King Minh Mang reign (1825), the king visited Ngu Hanh Son and built a pagoda called “Ngu Che Ung Chon Tu”. In 1891, this name was changed in to “Linh Ung” because of profanation of tabooed names.
In 1997, a 30m high Xa Loi tower was built on the left of this pagoda. There are 200 stone status and 40 reliefs of Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Arhat. This tower has been recorded as a tower with the most stone status.
Although Linh Ung Non Nuoc has been changed and rebuilt so many times, it still has a special position in every prayer’s heart. Visitors may feel they are lost in Elysium with peaceful and fanciful landscape when staying front of the 10m high Buddha status or walking around to enjoy the scenery.
