Linh Son Phuoc Trung Pagoda

About this location

Linh Son Phuoc Trung Pagoda – An ancient temple at the foot of Ba Den Mountain Linh Son Phuoc Trung Pagoda, commonly known as Chua Trung, is located at the foot of Ba Den Mountain in Binh Minh Ward, Tay Ninh Province. Belonging to the Mahayana Buddhist sect, the pagoda was established in 1876 by Patriarch Thanh Tho - Phuoc Chi. It is one of five sites within Zone I of the Ba Den Mountain Historical and Scenic Area. The temple grounds cover an area of 2,329.2 m², with the main structure measuring approximately 18 m wide and 48 m long. The architectural space features characteristics of Southern Vietnamese Buddhist institutions, featuring wall reliefs depicting Buddhist patriarchs such as Ananda and Kasyapa. Alongside its religious value, the location is tied to Tay Ninh's revolutionary history: in 1876, it hosted the Conference on Building the Anti-French Resistance Forces and the Provincial Farmers' Association Conference. The combination of Buddhist temple architecture, devotional spaces, and historical traces provides a suitable setting for historical films, cultural-religious films, documentaries, and projects exploring community life. However, the placement of cameras, lighting, and filming activities within the worship area must be approved by the management unit and the temple.
