The giant Buddha statue of the Ngoc Hoa monastery in Qui Nhon in Vietnam.
When I was in Vietnam last year with my wife we ​​went to the Qui Nhon region and, on an excursion, we visited the Ngoc Hoa monastery.
In this small spiritual center dominated this enormous statue of a golden Buddha.

Here's where the statue is located:

A Buddha, also budda in Italian, is, according to Buddhism, a being who has reached the highest degree of enlightenment (bodhi). Buddha is the past participle of the Sanskrit budh, to become aware, to wake up. Buddha therefore means “awakened”, with reference to the passage of consciousness from the state of sleep (ὕπνος, hýpnos) to the state of full realization.

Walking from Valle Christi Monastery to Rapallo

Passeggiando dal monastero di Valle Christi a Rapallo

Walking from the Valle Christi monastery to Rapallo.
A stroll in the small park where the Valle Christi monastery (or at least its ruins) is located.
A few months ago I went, after a long time that I had been meaning to, to visit it and I was very impressed.
It exudes sacredness but also history and mystery.
I invite you to go and see it, it is very convenient by car.

There is also the official website of the festival that is celebrated there annually: vallechristi.it.

The monastery of Santa Maria in Valle Christi was a Catholic place of worship located in the hamlet of San Massimo, in via San Massimo, in the municipality of Rapallo in the metropolitan city of Genoa. The former monastic complex from the thirteenth century is included in the list of Italian national monuments; it is one of the few surviving examples of Gothic architecture in the entire Ligurian territory.

The Valle Christi Monastery in Rapallo
A magical place here on the Riviera that until now I had only seen in photos. And finally, a couple of weeks ago I went to see it too.
It is located in Rapallo behind the golf course and is very easy to reach by car (it is no more than five hundred meters from the motorway exit and there is a convenient free car park, I believe) and, if you pass by when it is open (there are times that I can't tell you, though), you can visit it freely.
