Пагода была построена в 1886 году руководителем общины Тхить Нго Ти (Thích Ngộ Chí)[1]. Однако в 1900 году была сильно повреждена сильным ураганом, впоследствии перенесена к подножию горы Чайтхюи и восстановлена.
Объяснение:
Пагода Лонгшон (вьетн. Chùa Long Sơn ) — главный буддийский храм провинции Кханьхоа, расположенный в Нячанге, юг Вьетнама. Ранее носила название «Данг Лонг Ту» (Đặng Long Tú — «медленно летящий дракон»), но после урагана 1900 года, который почти полностью разрушил пагоду, была перенесена в центр города к подножию горы и получила новое нынешнее название.
