At Linh Ung Pagoda, there is a statue of Quan The Am Buddha, considered the tallest in Vietnam (67m high, with a lotus tower diameter of 35m). The statue stands with its back against the mountain, facing the sea, with gentle eyes looking down. In one hand, it holds a seal of compassion, while the other hand holds a jug pouring peaceful water for the fishermen venturing far out to sea. On the crown of Quan Am's head, there is a 2m high statue of Buddha. Inside the statue, there are 17 floors, each with an altar containing a total of 21 Buddha statues with different forms, expressions, and postures, known as "Buddhas within Buddhas".
