The church is stunning, and the scenery is breathtaking...
Chakkiou Sanctuary in Vietnam, known as one of the three major Marian apparition sites, is a sacred place that boasts not only the beautiful statue of the Virgin Mary and the chapel at the top of the hill but also the picturesque rural landscape surrounding it.
The expansive fields and farmlands, the distant mountains, and the refreshing breeze sweeping across the plains make this location a perfect retreat to escape the heat.
The various Catholic statues at the summit enhance the atmosphere of the site and serve as excellent spots for photography.

Tra Kieu Sanctuary, one of the three major Marian apparition sites in Vietnam, is located in a small village in the Duy Son area, about 40 kilometers southwest of Da Nang.
It is not well known as a tourist destination, but it is a famous place that is often visited because it is a meaningful place for Vietnamese Catholics.
It is a good place to learn about Catholicism in Vietnam, and even if you are not a Catholic, it is a well-maintained park worth visiting.
It is good to visit together with My Son Sanctuary.

My Catholic family visits Tra Kieu

Visiting the Marian Center in Tra Kieu is a deeply spiritual experience for Catholic visitors. The serene environment, nestled amidst the rolling hills and lush greenery, creates a perfect setting for prayer and reflection. It takes 1h for driving from my home, Da Nang (50km far away from).
That is a deeply moving and spiritually fulfilling experience for Catholics. The combination of historical significance, religious devotion, and natural beauty creates a perfect setting for prayer, reflection, and community.
