Small Buddhist pagoda in the Ngũ Hành Sơn (Marble Mountains) district, separate from the main cave pagoda complex. Located on a quiet lane near the base of the mountains, Ba Da is a working monastery rather than a tourist site, making it calmer and less visited than the pagodas inside Thuy Son. Free to enter. Modest dress required (shoulders and knees covered). Worth combining with a Marble Mountains visit — it's a short walk from the main entrance on Huyền Trân Công Chúa Street.
