Located on top of Đại Bình Mountain, some 25km north of Bảo Lộc City in Lâm Đồng Province, Linh Quy Pháp Ấn Pagoda appears to be out of this world. At dawn, the pagoda emerges from a sea of clouds under the day’s first light. And, after a 1000-metre climb, the view from top of the mountain is nothing short of spectacular.
The pagoda’s architectural style is a mix of old Vietnamese and Japanese, with Japanese-style wooden gates erected to guard the holy site. It also features a Japanese-style rock garden where monks gather at various times during the day to contemplate and discuss the teaching of Buddha.

Mỗi mảnh đất lại có những đặc trưng văn hóa hóa nhau để giữ cái hương cái hồn của của mình không bị hòa lẫn với cái hương cái hồn của mảnh đất khác. Văn hóa làng xã, văn hóa rất mực thuần Việt nơi đồng bằng Bắc Bộ nước ta. Những truyền thống dung dị, những bình yên dịu dàng của đời người gói ghém vào từng mảnh ngói, viên gạch, cái nghề truyền thống gắn với người dân bao đời. Một ngày nhẹ tênh, rời bỏ tấp nập thành phố, tới Thổ Hà, để thấy, để yêu, để cảm cái mảnh tình làng quê Bắc Bộ này.
