1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #386 - Table Mountain and Lady Buddha, Danang, Vietnam

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #386

- Table Mountain and Lady Buddha, Danang, Vietnam
 

(Of the many places of interest in Danang, both the Table Mountain and the Lady Buddha statue in Linh Ung stood out for us. The huge limestone caves inside Table Mountain includes one where its ceiling breaks through to the sky. So, at the right time in the morning, the bright sunlight sends a natural spotlight down to the temple surrounding of the cave - very calm feeling here. The 67m, 30-storey high Lady Buddha glistens under the sunshine too at this hillside pagoda area. The views of Danang from here are expansive, with the famed My Khe beach - seen in Apocalypse Now movie - and its many round basket-rattan boats just below us. Of course, Danang sightseeing is not complete without the iconic Dragon bridge, its yellow scales hovering high and proud in this 3rd largest Vietnamese city of over a million people)
