I love this pagoda so much. I have no word for it. Besides His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa was there last week giving initiations and teachings, which makes it a very special place now :) . more »

It is a relative new temple and the building is well maintained. It is typical in design of a Chinese temple, although the present of a large bell is not so common. The pagoda is interesting but it was closed to visitor on that day so I can't comment. It is not too far from the downtown so the taxi fare is OK. We got the front desk to write the name of the temple and the place we intended to go after that in Vietnamese so as to avoid an problem with language.

Historic pagoda. Good temple structures. May be annoyed to buy incents. A pagoda for sightseeing than a spiritual practicing address.
