VietnamDescription and is it worth a visit
Linh An Pagoda - notable for the fact that it houses the tallest statue of the goddess Guanyin in Vietnam under the open sky, its height is 71 meters. And in the inner park of the temple there is the largest statue of Maitreya Buddha in Lamdong Province and 500 deities of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva. It's amazing how many unique sculptures are collected here in one place. And the Lin An Pagoda is also interesting because from here you can see the famous Elephant Waterfall. These attractions are located next to each other, which makes them convenient to visit. In addition, both places are included in the top ten must-see in the vicinity of Dalat and are included in most sightseeing routes, so they should not be missed in any way.
Inside the main statue there is a staircase leading to the very top of the article through several floors. There is no observation deck, but through the windows you can see Elephant Waterfall and the surrounding provincial landscapes. Be sure to go up there. Each floor is decorated with bright frescoes and drawings on the walls and ceiling, Buddha figures. Everything is very solemn and beautiful. A prayer recording is played in the background. There are a number of bizarre sculptures depicting different deities on the street around Guanyin.
The territory of the temple is large, well-groomed. Behind the main building of the temple is a shady park with a large statue of Maitreya Buddha and hundreds of statues of Avalokiteshvara lined up.
Do not forget that the Lin An Pagoda is a place of worship, so when visiting, follow the rules of conduct and the dress code for temples: clothes should be modest, closed, shoes should be removed before entering the temple.
