The pagoda is beautiful and the gardens are lovely and so peaceful. I like the different shades of green and the many different plant shapes all of which have been planted thoughtfully. I joy to watch.
Aw nice. I went out with my Thuy last night. I return to Vietnam in 5 weeks and i am going fishing with her Dad in Ha Long bay hahahaha Ill be in Da Nang and central Vietnam a lot exploring so i hope i can visit this very beautiful Pagoda. Day la rat dep!
I have to say it again. I love that you include your wife. It adds to your channel. I see so many xpats that I follow and it’s just them. While their perspective is good adding the wife give us another view. Especially because sometimes she explains things you have no clue of! 😁
Vietnamese pagodas have 3 types of tiles: lapis lazuli, yin and yang tiles and dragon scale tiles. Almost all Vietnamese pagodas are built with dragon scale tiles because they are cheap to make.
Beside this temple, there is very little for most tourists to see and do in pleiku. Some coffee plantations… this is a little bit a shame because for the size of the city that pleiku is the people are really friendly and it is very safe. I always enjoy my time there
I disagree. There are plenty other sites and cultural spots to enjoy like Dragon mountain, the sea lake, market square, city lake, the central park, ethic villages, waterfalls, rubber plantations, rivers and volcanic mountains. Gia Lai has a rich history and multi cultural population so it has a lot to offer. Of course it cannot compete with Saigon or Hanoi but it certainly shouldnt be ignored.
Most beautiful temple in Viet, not sure about that. it's up there but hope they preserve it serene, peaceful, limit filming and tourists, no loud noises,, restrict openning hours, etc
We had the painted drywall walls like normal in the west with just a paste-up & rollout border around the top of the rooms back in the 90's-2000's, was much cheaper than using a tile on the walls with a border printed on it👍 just an idea if u were lookn to save a couple bucks🤷🏻♂️not sure if that could be an option for ya's? Gives you alot more combinations of designs and colors you can come up with👍
Thanks for the advice.. I’m leaning towards plaster & paint walls for pure simplicity. Tiles have a place and that’s not in the living room. I sense another compromise on the horizon. Ha ha
I have been to Ban Me Thuat but not Pleiku. Definitely will check out this beautiful temple. Do you know if the place opens at night and is it well lit? I reckon the place will be tranquil at night and the sounds of the monks reciting the prayers would be Nirvana like.
Yeah I agree.. what were they thinking with the tile designs?! 🤣 I got a feeling that the designers thought cramming as much crap into it as possible increases the value or something 😅
This pagoda is actually not the most beautiful in Vietnam . If you go up North , you will see a lot huger and more gorgeous ones like Bai Dinh pagoda in Ninh Binh province , Ba Vang pagoda in Quang Ninh province and specially Tam Chuc pagoda in Ha Nam province . And across Vietnam , in Huê , Da Nang , Dalat , Sapa , Nha Trang , Tuy Hoa ,Tây Ninh , Quy Nhon , Phu Quoc , Ba Ria-Vung Tau , HCMC , Binh Duong , Cân Tho , Hanoi , Ha Long , etc...there are also a lot of big and beautiful Buddhist temples and monasteries . Have you ever travelled all over Vietnam yet
It was just a eye catching heading.. dont take things too seriously. Also beauty is subjective and a personal thing. Yes.. Ive been to most places on your list except Sapa, Da lat and Phu Quoc. I&ll get around more in time. Where are you from?
The Vietnamese people are warm and friendly. I personally have never felt in danger or received any ill feelings due to my ethnicity. The war is hardly mentioned in public with little remnants visible. Also, just take a look at the variety of vloggers living and documenting their experiences throughout Vietnam. Our content speaks volumes and is a direct insight into the beauty of the Vietnamese people and their country. Cheers! Roy.
Love the bubbles in the milk tea
Ngôi chùa này có đầu tư tất cả làm bằng gỗ khác với ngôi chùa làm bằng xi
i see what ya mean Roy, she's 'shy' asian woman
& she defers a LOT to you (be thankful & appreciate her, what a lovely wife)
keep it up :)
beautiful couple wish you well
Thank you so much!
It does look like a magnolia and the cityscape looks like any modern city. NY, London, Sydney, Paris, Hong Kong even Beijing.
The pagoda is beautiful and the gardens are lovely and so peaceful. I like the different shades of green and the many different plant shapes all of which have been planted thoughtfully. I joy to watch.
Thanks for the comment Mum..
Thanks for your film.I do watch your shows frequently...give me a cup of coffee sometimes.😃😃😃
Any time
One of the most beautiful temples I've seen! That may be reason enough to plan a trip to Pleiku next time we are in VN. Thanks for sharing!
Go there! .You won't be disappointed (in my experience).
Love the red wedding attire!
Thanks Chris.. we did western style too.
So great show.Thanks so much
I have been to a few temples in Vietnam. They are similar to this one. All very beautiful and peaceful. Thanks for showing us this one!
You are most welcome.
Folks you wont see a more inviting pagoda.
My word, great choice for wedding photos.
So beautiful. Could you write the name of the big pagoda please? And where is it?
Great supportive wife! Pleiku Beer brewing here you go!
Aw nice. I went out with my Thuy last night. I return to Vietnam in 5 weeks and i am going fishing with her Dad in Ha Long bay hahahaha
Ill be in Da Nang and central Vietnam a lot exploring so i hope i can visit this very beautiful Pagoda. Day la rat dep!
if you are in Gia Lai let me know.. we can have a coffee or beer.

I appreciate that
Check out battersea Park and Wimbledon when you're back in UK
Dang, it really is pretty! Cool how it's not so dissimilar to temples in Japan eh?
Hahahaha! I just heard you use "dissimilar" in your description as well. Funny.

The border tiles are rather old fashion, the type we had in Europe in the 60s and 70s. Please tell Thuy.
She wanted flowers.. I wanted subway tiles and never the twain shall meet. It’s her house so I want her to feel comfortable and happy.
How come your wife’s English got a little British accent? Love it ….
She loves studying and teaching English.
I assume it is a little bit British because Roy is Scottish.
Beautiful temple! As a Japanese I can see some similarities to Japanese architecture style
These architectural styles originate mainly from China
Chả có j gọi là tương đồng cả vn bọn tôi hiếm khi làm chùa bằng gỗ , nước tôi chưa có điều kiện làm bằng gỗ hầu như là làm bằng si măng cho rẻ
I’m still pulling for the Golden Throne!!! 😂

Just a headline grabber.. it’s all subjective.

It’s under construction at the moment.. but I will find out if there are any evening openings or light up events.
Yeah I agree.. what were they thinking with the tile designs?! 🤣

naice
Thanks for the comment.. keep em coming. cheers!
Beautiful!! Where is here?? What is name of this temple??
Minh Thanh temple in the city centre.. cheers!
Which city??
@@pedroswlee we are in Pleiku city in the central highlands of Vietnam. Thanks
Lucky it wasn't a seagull. Its meant to bring good luck.
Do you and your wife pray? Sorry I'm just learning English
Good one.
What is the religion in Vietnam?
That’s an interesting question as there are a significant number of Christians. I’m guessing Buddhist is the majority though.
Buddhism is the most influential
Shisnoper
Where did you see an English flag in the middle of that pagoda
I’ll take a photo and show you next time I’m in town.
@@adventuresinvietnam Yeah ! I am curious to see that photo . Thank you
Algorithm comment
Hi Eli.. you think the algorithm is causing some problem?
Not the kind of country that I would visit. I will feel very unsafe in Vietnam. They were very cruel to the Americans in the Vietnam War.
The Vietnamese people are warm and friendly. I personally have never felt in danger or received any ill feelings due to my ethnicity.

@@adventuresinvietnam Thanks Roy, 👍
