Thanh Luong Pagoda

Thanh Luong Pagoda - A Buddhist space reflecting coastal cultural imprints. Thanh Luong Pagoda is located in My Quang Nam Village, An Chan Commune (Tuy An district), Dak Lak Province, situated within a coastal residential area of the Tuy An region. Its proximity to the sea creates a distinct setting with atmospheric light and landscapes characteristic of the coastal zone. The pagoda grounds include a three-entrance gate (Tam Quan), Long Thuy Lake, the Guan Yin Hall, and the main sanctuary, providing multiple layers of space from the entrance to the worship areas. Built in 1956, the pagoda's standout architectural feature is the use of coral and coconut shells as decorative materials for various structures, creating surfaces rich in texture and natural color, distinguishing it from common traditional pagoda architecture. The space dedicated to Guan Yin, along with the story of the statue discovered at sea, contributes to a layer of spiritual culture deeply connected to the local coastal community. This location is suitable for cultural-religious films, documentaries, family dramas, television series, and works exploring coastal life, beliefs, and community memory.
