Linh Ung Pagoda
Linh Ung Pagoda (the Son Tra one — there are three pagodas with this name around Da Nang) is dominated by a 67-meter statue of the Lady Buddha overlooking the sea, one of the tallest Buddha statues in Vietnam and visible from much of the city and the surrounding coastline. The temple complex itself is large and modern, with sweeping views over Da Nang Bay from its hillside position.
It's as much a viewpoint as a religious site for most visitors, combining well with a loop around the rest of Son Tra Peninsula, including the monkey-populated forest reserve further along the road.
