Đà Nẵng’s tourist map features many famous pagodas, including Chùa Quan Âm, Chùa Linh Ứng, and Chùa Phổ Đà… Among them is Chùa Tam Thai, an ancient and sacred pagoda that should not be missed when sightseeing and exploring Đà Nẵng.

Located on Thủy Sơn, one of the five legendary peaks of Ngũ Hành Sơn, Tam Thai tự is a spiritual attraction visited by many Buddhists. Chùa Tam Thai is an especially sacred stop on Đà Nẵng tours, with scenery reminiscent of a heavenly realm.

Located 13km from central Đà Nẵng, Chùa Tam Thai, also known as Chùa Trong, is reached by climbing 156 stone-paved steps. During Emperor Minh Mạng’s royal tour in 1825, he visited the scenic sites and named all the rocks and caves. In 1826, he commissioned bells and statues as gifts for the pagodas. These included Chùa Tam Thai, where the emperor’s younger sister practiced Buddhism. During the reign of Thành Thái, the emperor also visited the pagoda to pray for peace and prosperity throughout the country.
