Stepping inside, visitors can feel the solemn, tranquil atmosphere, as if completely detached from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Not only is it a place for the monks and nuns to practice and live, but the monastery is also an ideal stop for those who seek inner peace and calm for the soul. From the monastery’s courtyard, a wide view of Phu Quoc’s sea and sky stretches out, creating a picturesque landscape filled with a strong Zen spirit, making one’s heart feel at peace.
