Bái Đính Temple

[1] Bái Đính Pagoda, along with Phát Diệm Cathedral, Hoa Lư Ancient Capital Tam Cốc-Bích Động, Tràng An, Cúc Phương is a famous tourist attraction site of Ninh Bình Province.

The huge scale of Bai Dinh makes it strikingly different from previously built Vietnamese Buddhist pagodas, however.

The temple adheres to traditional Vietnamese design aesthetics with its curve finials and corner eaves soaring outward and upward, resembling a phoenix's tail.

Bái Đính pagoda hosts a large festival on the sixth day of the first lunar month drawing huge crowds.

For example, it features the largest bronze bell in Vietnam, the tallest stupa and longest Arhat corridor in Asia.
