Suoi Do Pagoda

Visit the Suoi Do Pagoda — a breathtaking landmark set atop a mountain in Suoi Hiep Commune. It boasts of scenic sights, a serene atmosphere, and a rich history that you can explore and delve in.

The Suoi Do Pagoda is a 50-year old Buddhist temple that was built in honour of Quan Am, the Chinese Goddess of Mercy. Locals believe that young girl saw the goddess at a stream that runs down from the mountain, and soon after, the Pagoda was built near the area, where it continues to serve and accept the local Buddhist community up to this day. Aside from visiting and taking in the temple sights, guests are also treated to beautiful panoramic views of the Cai River Valley, plantations, paddy fields, and neighbouring hills.
