Lien Hoa Pagoda

About this location

Lien Hoa Pagoda - A prominent spiritual structure along the Tien River. Lien Hoa Pagoda is located in Tan Hoa Hamlet, Binh Ninh Commune, Dong Thap Province, on the banks of the Tien River near the Vam Ky Hon area. The pagoda was established in 2016 under its initial name, Lien Hoa Prayer Hall, and officially renamed Lien Hoa Pagoda in 2022. It has gradually become a prominent Buddhist practice and pilgrimage site in the region, attracting a large number of Buddhists and tourists due to its scale and riverfront location. A key highlight of the pagoda is the 33-meter-tall statue of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva of the Southern Sea (Quan Am Nam Hai), facing the Tien River. The grounds also feature the Main Hall with two statues of Gautama Buddha and Prabhutaratna Buddha placed above, along with the Eighteen Arhats statue garden and other worship structures. The multi-tiered architecture combined with large-scale Buddhist statues creates a distinctive appearance that stands out amidst the river landscape of the Mekong Delta. From the pagoda grounds, filmmakers can capture angles of the Avalokiteshvara statue, the Main Hall, the statue garden, the courtyard, and the Tien River scenery. This location is suitable for documentaries, cultural and spiritual films, reportages, MVs, TVCs, or scenes requiring a large-scale Buddhist setting combined with the characteristic river space of the Mekong Delta.
