Huyen Khong Son Thuong Pagoda belongs to the Nam Tong sect (Hìnayàna). The construction of the pagoda was completed in 1989, after dozens of years, thanks to the efforts of monks and Buddhists. From a wild, arid, weedy hill region, this place has become a paradise on earth, with immense forest trees and serene nature.

The temple is located at a place 300m above sea level, surrounded by forest and lakes, so the atmosphere here is strangely mild and pleasant. The pagoda space has an area of more than 10,000m2, including the Outer Hall and the Inner Hall. The Outer Hall is a place of living and worship, and the Inner Hall is devoted entirely as a space of meditation.

The artistic space is not frivolous. The main construction material is wood and not elaborately decorated; but instead, it is very harmonious with the surrounding nature. Bamboo houses with thatched roofs nestling among the green of the mountains give visitors a sense of tranquility.

Coming to Hue, let you spend a morning at Huyen Khong Son Thuong Pagoda and enjoy the peaceful, quiet space. Take a deep breath to enjoy the fresh air and let your worries be carried off with the sound of the temple bell. You will feel a strange sense of peace.
