Detailed itinerary

The Thanh Luong Pagoda is well-known for the legend surrounding the statue of Quan The Am that washed up on its shores. Although this statue has lost its original appearance, the original standing stance of this Buddha image has been retained.

According to the soil survey, the stone in Da Dia reef is basalt stone formed from the activities of the volcano of millions of years ago. Mineral from the volcano mouth was hardened when combined with sea water which also created forces to cause cracks for the whole mineral block along the vertical, horizontal, slanting joints to cut stone columns into many sections.

you may come across the narrative of Blessed Andrew of Ph Yên, the first Christian martyr in Vietnam. Mang Lang, the location of this church, was also the birthplace of Andrew of Phu Yen. Andrew of Ph Yên was born in 1624 to a pious household. He was kidnapped and killed in July 1644 while on a missionary expedition in Quang Nam. Some claim that his corpse was buried at Macau's St. Paul Cathedral and that his head was returned to the Vatican.

Quang Duc Xua ancient-house is a site that will make you feel as if you are living quietly in the midst of time, to feel the clarity, tranquillity, and captivating beauty of old things. Coming to Quang Duc Xua and immersing yourself in the flow of nostalgia will be an unforgettable experience. People would appreciate the famous blood cockle enamel pot when they think about Quang Duc village's ceramic items.
