Visit Ho Quoc Pagoda
Southeastern Phu Quoc, Vietnam
Ho Quoc brings a contemplative pause to a southern island day. The contemporary Truc Lam monastery draws on older Vietnamese architectural traditions, with curved roofs, timber halls and a broad stone approach set between wooded hills and the sea. Take the steps slowly and look back toward the coastline before entering the worship areas. Dress respectfully, keep voices low and let ceremonies determine where you can linger. A driver makes it easy to combine the visit with one nearby coastal stop.
