It is the oldest temple in Hoi An, with beautiful grounds, some stunning Buddha statues, and tombs. A place of peace and spirituality, definitely worth a visit.

The Chuc Thanh Pagoda (Chùa Chuc Thánh) is the oldest and most historically significant pagoda in Hoi An. Founded in 1671 by Zen Master Minh Hai, it is considered the birthplace of the Chuc Thanh branch of Lam Ta Buddhism.
It features a fascinating blend of Vietnamese and Chinese architectural styles. The roofs are adorned with intricate dragon figures and porcelain mosaics.
You'll find ritual objects there that are over 200 years old, including a stone bell (khanh đá) and a wooden "fish" drum.
