About

Thiên Ưng Phủ – 10 Hectares at the Edge of the National Park

Located right at the gateway to Bù Gia Mập National Park, Thiên Ưng Phủ enjoys a setting that “rests against the hills and faces the water,” with a clear blue lake, rich vegetation and a night sky free from light pollution. It is an ideal place for teachers and students, families and groups to rediscover balance.

Phật Quốc Vạn Thành Pagoda

A Spiritual Destination

Phật Quốc Vạn Thành Pagoda

“Home to a 73-metre Shakyamuni Buddha statue – the tallest in Southeast Asia”

Just over 100 km from Ho Chi Minh City, in Bình Long town, the pagoda rises majestically amid vast rubber plantations and the tranquil waters of Chà Là Lake.

  • Southeast Asian record: a 73-metre-tall statue of Shakyamuni Buddha in pure white.
  • Architectural dialogue: a refined combination of Vietnamese and Japanese Buddhist traditions.
  • A distinctive experience: the scenery is at its most magnificent at dawn, ideal for a “Stillness – Goodness – Wisdom” photography concept.

Back to Mother Nature

Exploring the Đắk Huyt River – A Dream of the Ancient Forest

“Humans cannot conquer a river. But sometimes, the river allows us to pass...”

Upstream by motorboat: a journey on a seven-horsepower boat through white-crested waves, feeling the grandeur of the Đắk Huyt River.

Ancient ecosystem: behold giant dầu rái trees, multicoloured parakeets, ground eagles and troops of monkeys swinging through the canopy.
