Chùa Quang Minh is a working Buddhist pagoda in Hoa Khanh, Da Nang's northwestern district. It's not on the main tourist circuit — no admission fee, no tour programme, minimal English signage. What it offers is authenticity: a temple that functions as a daily place of worship for the surrounding community, with incense offerings, ringing bells, and resident monks. For travellers who want a temple visit that feels lived-in rather than managed, Quang Minh is a straightforward stop. Come at 6–8 AM for the morning rituals. Dress modestly — covered shoulders and knees required.
