The Timeless Beauty of Temples and Pagodas in Southern Khanh Hoa
The system of ancient temples and towers in Khanh Hoa is increasingly emerging as a key highlight in the development of cultural and spiritual tourism in Vietnam’s South Central Coast region. Scattered across coastal plains and low hills, these heritage sites offer visitors a rare opportunity to explore layers of history shaped by both Champa civilization and Buddhist traditions.
Among the most notable landmarks are the Po Klong Garai Tower and Trung Son Ancient Pagoda in Ninh Hai. The Po Klong Garai Tower, a representative example of Champa brick architecture, stands out for its intricate carvings, harmonious proportions, and enduring religious significance. Meanwhile, Trung Son Pagoda, perched on elevated terrain, provides a tranquil spiritual setting, combining traditional Buddhist architecture with sweeping views of the surrounding landscape.
Beyond their architectural and historical value, these sites continue to serve as active centers of worship, preserving rituals, festivals, and cultural practices that have been passed down through generations. For travelers, they offer not only visual and historical appeal but also moments of reflection and cultural immersion.
As Khanh Hoa strengthens its cultural tourism offerings, the preservation and promotion of ancient temples and towers are playing an increasingly important role in creating meaningful experiences and diversifying tourism products across the region.
