Duc Pagoda
Chùa Đục
A temple on the hillside of Gieng Tien Peak, where a huge white statue of Guanyin faces the sea and overlooks the northwest coast.
The temple is built against the volcanic rock wall of Gieng Tien Peak and is reached by climbing several hundred stone steps. The most prominent feature is an open-air standing statue of white Guanyin, facing the sea. Local fishermen believe she protects them when they go out to sea. From in front of the statue, you can see the northwest coast of the island, the garlic fields and the reefs around Tò Vò Arch. Entry is free, but the steps are steep and the sun is strong, so early morning or late afternoon is more comfortable. Wear knee-covering clothing.
Opening hours
