Lady Buddha, Da Nang Overview

Lady Buddha is a phenomenal 67 meters tall white statue that stands high in the Linh Ung Pagoda courtyard in the Son Tra Peninsula. The feet of the Lady Buddha rests on a white Lotus. The left hand of the Lady Buddha holds the bottle of holy water, and the eyes overlook the sea. The statue can be reached by an arguably difficult trek but is made worth it by the views around it.

About 14 km from the city center, the Lady Buddha statue is an imposing albeit benevolent structure. The lotus structure on which it rests has a diameter of 35 meters equivalent to that of a 30-story building. It is believed that the structure is visible from almost 35 kms away. The statue rises up to 17 floors and each floor houses a different Buddha - which essentially means 'The Enlightened One'. The statue rises among some structured topiaries which are delightful in themselves.
