Quy Nhơn: Vietnam’s Santorini & The World’s Tallest Sitting Buddha! 🇻🇳

A hidden gem on the Champa coast! 🇻🇳 ​🏍️ In Episode 7 of Season 9, we explore the historic seaport of Quy Nhơn, once the 11th-century capital of the Champa civilization. Discover the Thiền Viện Thiên Hưng sanctuary, home to a massive 54m tall Buddha statue—the tallest in Vietnam—leaning against the Bà Mountain and facing the South China Sea. Explore the 18th-century Linh Phong Pagoda, wander the blue-and-white "Santorini" mural roads of the Nhơn Lý Fishing Village, and learn the history of the Tây Sơn Dynasty kings who unified Vietnam.
