About
A pagoda founded in 1744 and a national heritage site, with a multi-story stupa and a green, leafy compound.
Why go
A pagoda more than 280 years old, the seat of the Lam Te (Linji) Zen school in the South, with a compound much quieter than the pagodas in the center. A good fit for an unhurried morning.
Good to know
Sources give different opening hours (some say it closes for lunch from 12:00 to 13:30), so avoid midday. Dress modestly.
