• Things to see at Linh Phuoc Pagoda Dalat:

The 18-level hell represents 18 gates, each of which recounts a separate scenario from Maudgalyayana's journey to find her mother and explains its profound importance.

Antique collection, including many priceless antiquities on exhibit.

Souvenir shops are stalls hired by local entrepreneurs to offer a variety of tokens, ranging from toys to wool clothing with Da Lat-printed qualities.

Restaurants serve vegan fare such as rice, noodles, pho, and grilled sweet potatoes.

The zone has wax figures that resemble authentic ancient individuals.

The entire magnificent temple is covered in exquisite mosaics. People in Da Lat frequently refer to it as the Ve Chai Pagoda (Recycle Bottle Pagoda), or glass bottle, since there is a dragon delicately carved from 12.000 containers. It measures 49 meters in length and stands imposingly at the entry gate.

The rotation of the bell indicates a season of the year. We highly propose that you spin it according to the season, write your request on a piece of yellow paper, glue it to the bell, and ring the chime three times to carry the message to the Buddha. It will bring you good luck to do this spiritual rite at the pagoda.

The second option is to travel to the inferno by yourself. With sequences that use sounds and lighting to depict the specifics of the inferno, as well as the tale of Maudgalyayana discovering her mother, you will feel as if you are lost in the true hell under the ground. Going there alone will allow you to experience the most obvious emotion. The best time to accomplish it is during the low season, or in the early mornings and late afternoons when there are fewer tourists.

The entrance to the Linh Phuoc pagoda is tiny and busy, generating traffic jams, especially during peak season; hence, large automobiles cannot access it. During the off-season, cars are permitted to park in front of or behind the pagoda under the supervision of security personnel.

You should avoid wearing casual clothing like shorts, tank tops, and miniskirts. Remember to walk lightly, speak quietly, and don't fool around.
