We had the chance to visit the famous buddhist temple called Linh Phuoc Pagoda or also named "Dragon Padoga" or "Glass Pagoda". It has been created with glass fragment, pottery bowl and porcelain. The construction began in 1949 and was achieved in 1952. It was administrate by 4 buddhist monks.

The dragon is 49 meters long and you can see it from any place in the pagoda. This place is really quiet we had a great time walking all around. We even went to the top of the pagoda.

This big buddha is 5 meters high, its impressive when looking at him from the ground...we almost peed in our pants.

If you are going in Dalat don't miss it, its only 6.5 kilometers away from the city center.
