Bai But is located on the Son Tra Peninsula, about 14km Northeast of Da Nang city center. If traveling by motorbike, it only takes you about 25-30 minutes to get here, enjoying the quiet space and pristine beauty of nature.

1.2. The sacred legend of the name "Bai But"

The origin of the name Bai But on Son Tra peninsula (Collected Photo)

In the past, during the reign of King Minh Mang, amidst the vast sea, fishermen in Son Tra accidentally discovered a Buddha statue emerging from the yellow sand. They could not help but be amazed and believed it was a good omen. Determined to worship and pray for a peaceful sea, they built a shrine, so that every time they set sail, they hoped fishermen would have a safe trip, calm waves, and peaceful sea.

Another story tells about Lady Buddha Avalokitesvara, when she carried the Red Boy from the sea to the shore. That is a symbolic image of her shielding and protection for the people here. The people named this place "Bai But" as a way to show gratitude and preserve that sacredness through the years.
