Lady Buddha, 67m

It rained the last three days in Danang. With rain came high humidity and lots of fog. The fog finally lifted this morning. I used this small window of clear air to rush halfway up the Monkey Mountain. I wanted to see the Linh Ung Pagoda — a Buddhist temple sanctuary on the absolutely stunning Son Tra Peninsula.

Monkeys were playing between in trees while groups of visitors strolled around the extensive site and marveled at the ornate devotional art and buildings.

I am blown away by all of it. Sad that there is so little to find about this on the English Wikipedia and even on-site there was not a lot to read in English. An exhausting but insightful day on the mountain nonetheless.
