This photo by Nguyen Trung Au captures Buu Long Pagoda in Long Binh Ward, Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City.

Located on a hill along the Dong Nai River, the pagoda is known for its beautiful and unique architecture.

In 2019, Buu Long Pagoda was named in the list of 20 of the world’s most beautiful Buddhist temples by National Geographic, along with Tran Quoc Pagoda in Hanoi.

“Forty-five minutes east of Ho Chi Minh City, riverside Buu Long Pagoda features carved dragons that curve down the temple stairs and a turquoise pool reflects white walls and golden spires,” the U.S. magazine said.

Buu Long Pagoda is visited by many tourists from all over the world, who come to find peace, to experience the fresh atmosphere, and to admire the stunning architecture.
