Linh Quang pagoda is located in Thanh Nua commune of Dien Bien province’s Dien Bien district, about five kilometers from Dien Bien city center.
The most noticeable feature of the pagoda is its simplicity and green space. The pagoda’s Three Jewelries worship temple is surrounded by a small path with many peach and forest orchid trees.
In 2016, the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha chapter in the province held a ceremony for inaugurating this Buddha worshipping place, creating a cultural space to serve the religious and spiritual need of the people in mountainous areas.

Mrs. Đường Thị Thêm of Thai ethnicity, living 30 kilometers away from the pagoda, often takes her daughter-in-law and youngest son to the pagoda. She also shared because her youngest son has been weak from his birth, so she took him to the pagoda in hope that the Buddha would help relieving sufferings and anguish.
