Hoa Dong Pagoda – A meditative space amidst the Ba Den Mountain forests. Hoa Dong Pagoda is situated deep within the forests of Ba Den Mountain, distinguished by its Southern Vietnamese architecture, serene atmosphere, and natural landscape. Linh Son Hoa Dong Tu, commonly known as Hoa Dong Pagoda, is part of the spiritual complex on Ba Den Mountain, Binh Minh Ward, Tay Ninh Province. According to the Management Board of the Ba Den Mountain National Tourist Area, the pagoda was restored from an older site where Venerable Thich Giac Dien practiced in the mid-20th century. The current structure was established in 2008 under the Northern Buddhist tradition, with Venerable Thich Nghiem Trong serving as the abbot. The pagoda covers approximately 200 m² and is located in an isolated forest area at an altitude of about 350 m. Its architecture features a traditional four-pillar, three-bay, three-span structure, characteristic of Southern Vietnamese pagodas. Its location amidst forest trees and mountainous terrain creates a private, tranquil setting, suitable for psychological dramas, documentaries, and scenes involving spiritual life.
