Chùa Vàng, Ninh Bình

Chùa Vàng Ninh Bình is located directly on the main Tràng An road. Farther along lies the Tràng An Scenic Landscape Complex, a World Cultural and Natural Heritage Site. From a distance, Chùa Vàng stands out in the middle of Hồ Cá Voi, west of Ninh Bình City. The complex was built on a small island called Chùa Vàng and covers an area of around 28 ha.

Đảo Chùa Vàng is a complex of 3 small temples surrounded by leafy grounds. The architecture of Chùa Vàng is said to have been modeled on the ancient design of Chùa Bát Long, built by King Lê Đại Hành more than 1000 years ago.

True to the name “Chùa Vàng,” the temple is covered in gold, creating a magnificent and striking sight. At night, you can admire its shimmering, mysterious, and serene beauty reflected across the calm water.
