Admire the unique 13-story stupa on the top of Chin Khuc mountain

(Dan Tri) - Truc Lam Phung Thuy Son Pagoda was built on Chin Khuc Mountain in Nam Nha Trang Ward, Khanh Hoa Province. The building has a 13-storey Quang Minh stupa that stands out with its golden color.

Truc Lam Phung Thuy Son Pagoda was built on Chin Khuc Mountain (more than 500m above sea level), nearly 10km southwest of Nha Trang city center, Khanh Hoa province.

The temple has 18 large and small constructions that have been basically completed. At the end of July, the temple began to welcome visitors. Opening hours are 9am-4pm daily.

Because it is a solemn place, the temple has a rule that visitors and those who come to worship Buddha must wear neat and polite clothes, not tank tops, sleeveless shirts, pajamas, skirts or shorts above the knee.

In addition, do not bring food or drinks into the temple grounds (except mineral water); do not litter; raise awareness of energy saving.

Next to the main hall is the 13-storey Quang Minh stupa, standing out with its golden color.

Mr. Le Quoc Binh (38 years old, living in Nha Trang ward) shared: "When the afternoon light shines in, Quang Minh pagoda looks like it is glowing, so beautiful. This is not only a spiritual work, it also becomes a special highlight that attracts tourists and people to come and worship."

Anh Duc Thao (26 years old, residing in Nam Nha Trang ward) said this was his first time visiting the temple on Nine Bends Mountain. From the mountaintop, he was impressed by the panoramic view encompassing the winding coastline, the turquoise bay, and the towering skyscrapers in the center of Nha Trang, all blending together to create a rare and beautiful panorama.

The three-story bell tower with sturdy wooden pillars and bright red tiled roof with gold border creates a majestic highlight for the temple grounds.

The 1.5 ton bronze bell is placed solemnly and majestically in the middle of the bell tower. On the bell body is engraved the words "National peace and people's security, favorable weather and favorable winds".

According to Dan Tri reporter , the road to Truc Lam Phung Thuy Son Pagoda has nearly 3km of steep slopes, including some sections with a 15% slope, 200-300m long and many winding, potentially dangerous curves. Therefore, when visiting, people should choose to go by car or taxi.

If riding a motorbike, people should use manual transmission and avoid automatic transmission to reduce the risk of safety when going downhill. In addition, before moving, it is necessary to carefully check the technical factors of the vehicle such as brakes, chains, tires and change the engine oil.

The leader of Nam Nha Trang ward said that the locality has asked the investor to add additional safety measures on the road to the pagoda, to limit risks for tourists.
