Linh Phước Temple

I definitely recommend visiting this place. Be advised there is basement floor (B1 and B2) to visit for free. The place is reachable by train which departs at 09:55. Make sure you buy one way ticket at the entrance because the train heading back down is only an hour apart and there usually is not any other train there. It takes 30 minutes to get there so you will roughly only have 15 ~ 20 minutes on site if you choose round trip. You will find Grab taxis around the Temple for your way back.

Linh Phước Temple in Da Lat is one of the most striking and intricately designed temples I’ve ever visited. When we arrived, it was extremely busy, buses, motorbikes, and cars all trying to squeeze into the last available parking spots. Despite the crowd, the atmosphere remained peaceful and respectful. The temple is covered in vibrant, detailed mosaic artwork made from glass, pottery, and tiles, every surface is a visual feast. The grounds begin with a peaceful garden filled with flowers and fruit trees, followed by an area selling religious and gemstone items. We entered the main worship hall next (note: shoulders and knees must be covered and shoes removed). Inside stood a serene golden Buddha with a halo, surrounded by ornate pillars and wall murals. The bell tower is another highlight. Visitors can write wishes on slips of paper, attach them to the protective film wrapped around the bell, and ring it for good luckyI rang it twice, just in case! The most breathtaking part was the giant standing Buddha, surrounded by rows of golden statues across multiple levels. There’s even a towering Buddha statue made entirely from dried flowers. Linh Phước Temple is not just a place of worship, it’s a living masterpiece. Definitely worth the trip.

Linh Phước Temple in Da Lat is one of the most striking temples I’ve visited in Vietnam. The entire complex is decorated with intricate mosaics made from broken ceramics, glass, and porcelain, giving it a colorful and almost surreal look. Every corner reveals another layer of detail, from the tall dragon statues to the stunning 49-meter tower. Inside, the main hall is filled with ornate statues and carvings, creating a spiritual yet visually overwhelming atmosphere. The temple also has a giant bell where visitors can write their wishes before ringing it, which feels both symbolic and memorable. It’s a bit outside the city center, but definitely worth the visit if you want to see something truly unique in Da Lat—both for its artistry and its spiritual significance.

A very interesting and beautiful place. I definitely recommend visiting it and not necessarily as part of a tour. Free entrance. We went by taxi on our own. Beautiful and very atmospheric. Lots of statues. There is an opportunity to go down to hell. It is better to go in good weather.

This is one of our Dalat must-go pagodas. It is a historic Buddhist temple famous for its unique mosaic architecture, created from thousands of broken ceramic pieces and colored glass. They also have the Guinness world record for the most chrysanthemum built Guan Yin statue. The majestic Guan Yin hall was grand and spectacular. We also visited their collection hall as well as the 18 Level of Hell. Highly recommend.

No entry fee. Convenient to go by Grab or local trains. Unique Chinese temple with all the glass made decoration. Its style and colouring are liked the churches in Spain. Visitors can experience how the local worshippers admire their god via the decent and detail-minded statue. One of the 觀音 statue is made of fresh chrysanthemum flowers, very impressive. Don’t forget to visit the “18 levelled hell” inside the basement exhibition hall. Worthy to pay a visit.

A serene and historic pagoda featuring unique architecture. It offers many interesting activities and is very popular with tourists. A beautiful and ancient place.

A wonder of architecture - everything is made from broken glass and plates, right down to the smallest corner. I couldn't stop gasping in awe at the sheer beauty of it all.
