Lady Buddha, officially part of Linh Ung Pagoda, is a prominent religious site on the Son Tra Peninsula in Da Nang, Vietnam. With a 4.8/5 rating from over 4,200 reviews, it's a top attraction. The centerpiece is a 67-meter (220-foot) tall statue of the Goddess of Mercy (Quan Am), standing on a lotus platform and visible from miles away. The pagoda complex includes ornate temples, gardens, and a large hall with multiple Buddha statues. Visitors can climb to the base of the statue for breathtaking views of Da Nang Bay and the Marble Mountains.
