Long Son Pagoda

Beautiful temple and Buddha on the top of the mountain. Meet to climb up a bit. Beautiful view from the top. On the way you can buy different souvenirs, cool drinks. I went around lunch time, not that busy. On the way back from the village.

We visited Long Son Pagoda on a weekend and were surprised to find it relatively quiet, which made the experience peaceful and enjoyable. The complex is beautifully maintained, with ornate temple architecture, bonsai-lined walkways, and a welcoming atmosphere. Be prepared for a bit of a climb — there are quite a few steps to reach the giant seated Buddha statue at the top, but it’s well worth the effort. The views over Nha Trang from up there are incredible, offering a panoramic perspective of the city skyline, mountains, and coast. About halfway up, you’ll find a serene reclining Buddha statue, carved into the hillside, surrounded by carved monk figures. It’s a calm spot to take a break before continuing making your way down. There is also a bell tower as well to see.

The giant Buddha was breathtaking. There’s also a reclining Buddha with carvings that were so intricate in detail. It was beautiful. There’s also a golden Buddha and a lovely garden. There was no cost to enter. Being that it is a temple, it is advised to dress respectfully.

Very peaceful and beautiful place. The big white Buddha at the top is definitely worth the climb — the view is really impressive! The stairs aren’t too difficult, but take it slow if it’s hot. On the way up, there’s a reclining Buddha and some nice statues to check out. Entrance is free, but you might meet people trying to sell incense or ask for donations — just ignore them if you’re not interested, no pressure. Tip: Dress respectfully (no short shorts or tank tops), and try to visit early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat and crowds. Nice spot for pictures and a little break from the usual touristy stuff.

Free entrance. Even it was mentioned no shorts and sleevelesses, everyone was dressed so, but i assume this only applies to the inside of the building, not the temple itself. There's some construction going on at the entrance. There are a lot of tourists inside, and of course, it's stuffy. But the statue is truly enormous. It's worth it.

A peaceful and impressive spiritual site. The giant white Buddha gazing over the city is truly awe-inspiring, and the reclining Buddha is enormous — a breathtaking sight to see. The atmosphere is calm and respectful, perfect for a quiet walk and reflection. Plenty of photo-worthy moments along the way, with great views of Nha Trang from the top. A must-visit for those seeking both culture and serenity.

We went there in the evening, when the temperature was a little lower. Some people advised not to buy incense sticks when you just enter the temple, because they ask too much money, but later, when we climbed up, there was no place to buy them. The Buddha was beautiful and definitely worth visiting. Bring a mosquito repellent with you!!!

Easy to reach and definitely worth a visit when in the area, although I would not go out of my way specifically for it (as a tourist staying 3 days). Nonetheless happy to have been and observed it. It does get very hot up the hill on a sunny day and prepare for some stairs to climb when wanting to see the statue.
