Truc Lam Chan Nguyen Zen Monastery / Monkey Pagoda (Chua Khi)
About
Nestled peacefully at the foot of Ky Van Mountain in Phuoc Hai, Truc Lam Chan Nguyen Zen Monastery is popularly affectionately known as the "Monkey Pagoda". It is home to hundreds of wild monkeys residing on adjacent rocky cliffs that descend daily to interact with visitors and receive fruit treats. Enveloped by lush forest canopies and natural granite boulders shaped like elephants and tortoises, it offers a serene retreat of Zen tranquility.
