On his head, Buddha wears a conical hat typical of Vietnamese culture. The details of the Buddha statue are connected with glue but are very sturdy. The frame is made of iron, and the outside is braided with the hair of thousands of Buddhists. The total height of this statue is 2.38m and width is 1.74m. The statue was crafted in 1982, after decades of receiving hair from Tantric followers. Besides admiring this unique and impressive statue, you also have the opportunity to listen to many stories about the construction process of Binh Duong Tibetan Temple. That was the journey of monk Minh Tinh when he was alive, studying Buddhism in India, then returning to build this famous temple with the desire to bring orthodox Tantric ideas to Vietnam.

If you have the opportunity to visit a Tibetan temple during the holidays, besides visiting the temple, you can also participate in jubilant festival activities.

The most important work of the entire complex: Shakyamuni Buddha Dai - used as the name for this entire architectural complex - represents the moment when Bodhisattva attained enlightenment. Going back in time to the 1940s of the last century, a Sri Lankan monk, Venerable Narada Maha Thera, during a lecture in Vung Tau, met and became acquainted with a Vietnamese civil servant (later is the person who built Thien Lam pagoda to practice). In 1960, he returned to Vung Tau and often stayed at Thien Lam Pagoda.

He and his brothers - known as "the five brothers Kieu-Tran-Nhu" - were the first to preach to the Buddha during the turning of the Dharma wheel of Buddhism. Deer Park is one of the sacred places of Buddhism in the city of Sarnath, Uttar Prades state, India - where Buddha Shakyamuni is said to have preached the first sermon (Dharma Wheel Sutra) to his disciples. first son (brothers Venerable Kieu-Tran-Nhu). The cluster of Elephant and Monkey offering fruit statues is placed in the area between the Bodhisattva cluster and the Buddha turning the wheel of Dharma. This cluster of statues tells the story of a white elephant and a white monkey who were both lords of their flock. When he was old, he was no longer respected by the group, so he became depressed and went away to hide in the deep forest. He happened to meet the Buddha practicing meditation. He was inspired by him and happily volunteered to serve the Buddha. The statue of Buddha entering Nirvana is placed at the highest position in the Buddha statue garden. From the area of clusters of Buddha statues turning the Dharma wheel, elephants and monkeys offering fruit nearby, one must pass a number of stairs to reach the area where the Buddha statue enters Nirvana.

Long Phuoc tunnel relic is about 7 km from Ba Ria city center. This is a creative work, a heroic testimony of our army and people during the two resistance wars against the French colonialists and the American imperialists. Formed right in the area temporarily occupied by the enemy, Long Phuoc Tunnels originated from people digging tunnels to avoid enemy bombs and terrorist attacks. The movement of all people to dig secret tunnels was then launched by Long Phuoc commune officials. In early 1946, Long Phuoc had more than 300m of tunnels 3 - 5m deep underground. From the tunnel system, the guerrillas and people of Long Phuoc continuously broke up many raids, including a major raid in October 1949, ensuring the safety of the Xuyen Phuoc Co base area, the resistance base of the province, and is also the focal point of communication between the central government and the Southeast. During the anti-American period, Long Phuoc tunnels expanded to most hamlets in the commune. The soldiers and people of Long Phuoc used the tunnels as a springboard to attack the enemy. The US imperialists had to use planes to spread bombs, artillery shells to plow, tanks, bulldozers and thousands of infantry to attack the tunnels. After that, the tunnel system was expanded deeper and longer. The tunnels have secret vaults to store food and weapons; There is a place to treat wounded soldiers; There are continuous fighting fortifications in all 5 hamlets of Long Phuoc commune. The tunnel under the tunnel spreads in the shape of a spine 2-3m above the ground, the tunnel is more than 1.5m high and more than 0.7m wide, people inside can walk and move easily. After liberation, Long Phuoc Tunnels were restored and renovated to become a tourist attraction, a place for the young generation to learn about the fighting traditions of their ancestors on the land of Long Phuoc. The Long Phuoc Tunnels revolutionary historical relic was ranked as a national relic in 1990. This relic is the pride and epic of the people of Long Phuoc and the entire Ba Ria city.
