Sung Hung pagoda


Located in Duong Dong Town, visitors will experience the peaceful ambience under the old banyan tree at Sung Hung pagoda. In the beginning there were two pagodas: Sung Nghia (Sùng Nghĩa) and Hung Nhan (Hưng Nhân), but now they are reunited into the one pagoda named Sung Hung Pagoda. Phú Quốc island, Vietnam. Built in early of the 20th century on the bottom of a mountain near the town, its gate heads North with a generally suitable structure. This pagoda is surrounded by huge old trees. The main entrance conforms to a three-gate style (called Tam Quan).
The statue of the Goddess Quan Am Bo Tat overlooks the centre of the courtyard over a small lotus pond. In the main hall, Tam The Buddha is placed on the highest altar. On the wall is a painting depicting Monk Duong Tang's journey to the West. Behind this is the shrine that worships Gautama Buddha's ascendancy to Heaven.
