Nestled on the slopes of a rounded hill in Ninh Binh province, Bai Dinh Pagoda (Chùa Bái Đính) spans an expansive 3-square-mile (8-square-km) complex. This sprawling site is home to a variety of temple buildings, serene gardens, and a striking 13-floor pagoda. Among its notable features, visitors can marvel at a 30-foot (9-meter) bronze Buddha statue and a colossal 72,000-pound (32,600-kg) bronze bell. Today, the pagoda offers a tranquil and culturally rich experience, inviting visitors to explore its spiritual and architectural wonders.
