Long Son Pagoda
Long Son Pagoda is Nha Trang's main Buddhist temple, notable for a large white Buddha statue seated on a hill above the main temple building, visible from various points around the city and reached by climbing a long staircase behind the temple. The temple itself has striking ceramic mosaic dragon columns at its entrance, and the base of the hill includes a large reclining Buddha statue as well.
It's a good, easily reached mix of city temple visit and viewpoint, since the climb to the seated Buddha statue rewards visitors with a wide view over central Nha Trang.
