Thien Hung Pagoda
Chùa Thiên Hưng
A Zen temple garden in An Nhon where ancient trees, bonsai, and lotus ponds come together. Often called one of Binh Dinh's most beautiful temples, it is also a favorite with photographers.
Thien Hung Pagoda lies on the outskirts of An Nhon, about 25 km from central Quy Nhon. The abbot personally created a large Zen-style garden here, with towering old trees, sculpted bonsai, a lotus pond, and wooden bridges arranged among them. The buildings follow traditional Vietnamese wooden construction with tiled roofs. The serene setting leads many to call it 'the most beautiful temple in Binh Dinh.' Admission is free. As a place of practice, the temple asks visitors to keep quiet and dress modestly. It can be combined with nearby Canh Tien Tower, the Hoang De Citadel ruins, and the Silver Tower into a half-day route to the northwest. By car or hired van, the trip takes about 40 minutes.
