A place filled with more stories than expected, Long Son Pagoda.

An hour at Long Son Pagoda in Nha Trang 🛕✨ On the third day in Nha Trang, As the sunlight softened a bit, I visited **Long Son Pagoda (Chùa Long Sơn)**. I thought it would just be a quiet temple, but it turned out to be a place filled with more stories than I imagined. 🐾 First steps At the entrance of the pagoda, the subtle scent of incense lingered, and the sound of bells in between helped pause unnecessary thoughts in my mind for a while. Walking up slowly, I climbed the stone steps one by one, carrying 152 small thoughts with each step. Though I was out of breath, strangely, my heart felt lighter and lighter. 🍃 🙏 A breathtaking view At the end of the steps, I was greeted by the white Buddha, who truly embodied 'peace' itself. Sitting serenely on a lotus, I found myself instinctively bringing my hands together in reverence. 🤲 Behind the Buddha, the view of Nha Trang city and the sea unfolded, the sound of leaves rustling in the wind, and even without saying a word, the moment felt complete. 🌿 On the way back Sitting under the shade of a small tree beneath the statue, I sipped some water and felt grateful to be there at that moment. As I returned to the city, I kept reminiscing about those quiet moments. If you need a break during your travels, make sure to visit Long Son Pagoda. ✨ A few tips 📸 Take photos quietly and respectfully 👚 Dress modestly (cover shoulders and knees!) 💰 There's no entrance fee, but you can quietly pray and leave When your heart feels heavy, you don't have to go far.
