Long Khanh Pagoda
Chùa Long Khánh
The oldest Buddhist temple in central Quy Nhon, founded in the early 18th century. Its tall Guanyin statue and bell tower are city landmarks.
Long Khanh Pagoda lies near Tran Cao Van Street in the city center. It was founded in the early 18th century by a Chinese monk and is one of the principal Buddhist temples of Binh Dinh Province. In the courtyard stands a white Guanyin statue about 17 meters tall. The main hall enshrines the Three Buddhas of the Three Times, and the roof ridges are decorated with dragon and phoenix ceramics. The temple also has a seven-story bell tower and a sutra library, and the courtyard features a lotus pond and finely pruned bonsai. Admission is free. Visitors should cover their shoulders and knees. It is an easy walk to Cho Dam Market and the city beaches, and a stop of 30 to 45 minutes fits well into a stroll around town. Worshippers are especially numerous on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.
