Bai Dinh Pagoda, which belongs to The World Natural and Cultural Heritage Trang An Landscape Complex, has been considered as the Southeast Asia’s largest Buddhist complex. It consists of several temples and over 500 intricately carved statues of Buddha, including some giant ones. Set within the Gia Sinh Commune, it attracts a huge crowd of local devotees and travellers looking to pay their respects and have their fortunes told by the resident monks. There are two main pagodas of the same name, one of which is located on the slopes of Dinh Mountain often called the Ancient Pagoda. Accessible via a 300-step stairway, this quiet shrine houses a main prayer hall and natural caves, where locals pray to Buddha, Mother Goddesses and mountain spirits such as Saint Nguyen and Genie Cao Son. The New Bai Dinh Pagoda (extended part) is about 800 metres away, seen in most photos, covers a total area of 7 million square metres and achieves lots of titles in The Guinness Book of Vietnamese Records.

This was actually my second visit to this site - the first being more than a year ago. This was the site of the first (ancient) capital of Vietnam when it first gained its independence from China. There are two significant rebuilt temples - former palaces which became temples when each successive king died. Previously, visitors could enter the site for free but then had to pay to enter each pagoda. Now visitors pay to enter the entire site at the initial bridge and then can walk freely around the site. It's much more efficient this way...and guarantees more funding for the site. The staff does not speak any English so if you want to actually learn about the site, you'll need to hire a guide. We did not but I'd been here before with a guide.
