Ho Quoc Pagoda

Adrien Jean for Lonely Planet

View of the statue atop the Ho Quoc Pagoda framed by branches on Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam.

Climb the stairs of this pagoda, on a remote stretch of coastal road 10km north of Sao Beach, for one of the best views from any temple in Vietnam: blue sky and the water off Bai Dam Beach frame the temple-gate eaves, with green hills lying behind. Ho Quoc was only built in 2012 and features a Quan Am statue and a giant bell. Admirers of Ho Quoc venture here for sunrise and full-moon evenings.
