Suối Đổ Temple stands on a rather tall mountain. To reach it, you need to climb more than 200 meters of stone steps.
When you climb the last few steps, you’ll find two paths leading to two different places. The path on the left takes you to a large temple, namely the Quan Âm Temple. The unique feature of this complex is its precarious position on the mountain, overlooking a tall waterfall, offering a splendid sight.
