Ngoc Hoa Pagoda
Tịnh xá Ngọc Hòa
A Buddhist temple beside Nhon Ly fishing village, where a towering white two-faced Guanyin statue, backed by mountains and facing the sea, has become a new landmark of Phuong Mai Peninsula.
Ngoc Hoa Pagoda lies between Nhon Ly fishing village and Goose Lake. It is a Khất Sĩ Buddhist temple, and its most striking feature is a tall white 'two-faced Guanyin.' One face looks toward the sea to watch over fishermen at sea, and the other faces the village to protect its homes, making the statue a spiritual symbol of the fishing community. The temple is built into the hillside and its courtyard is neat. From here you can look down over the fishing harbor and the blue fishing boats. Admission is free. Visitors should dress modestly and not enter in swimwear. It is about a 10-minute walk from both Goose Lake and Tran Ninh fishing village, and it is usually visited for 20 to 30 minutes on a one-day tour of Phuong Mai Peninsula.
