travel asia vietnam nha trang loc tho pagoda
Loc Tho Pagoda is a Buddhist Temple in Nha Trang which has run a charity school since 1991 which is attended by over 100 poor children and several orphans who live there.
The Pagoda grounds have some interesting architecture including the pagoda and the temple.
I'm sure the nuns of the pagoda are doing a good thing providing the school and orphanage for the community, but the older students who
hound you to buy postcards and other trinkets make the visit quite unpleasant.
Like many places in Vietnam, the locals seem to be conditioned to try and take advantage of tourist generosity with over-dramatic acting.
Access is relatively easy but can require moderate walking through narrow streets because there is no parking available.
