Bus
Start from the center of Ha Long City, specifically at the Ha Long Bus Station. Take a local bus heading to Uông Bí. The bus ride will take approximately 30-45 minutes. Once you arrive at the Uông Bí Bus Station, exit the bus and head towards the main road. From there, you can either take a taxi or a motorbike taxi, which are readily available at the station. The Ba Vàng Pagoda is about 10 minutes away by taxi. Just tell the driver 'Chùa Ba Vàng' and they will take you directly to the pagoda.
Motorbike Taxi
If you are in Ha Long and prefer a more direct route, you can use a motorbike taxi service (Grab or local equivalent). Open the app, set your pickup location, and enter 'Chùa Ba Vàng' as your destination. The ride will take approximately 30-40 minutes depending on traffic. Make sure to confirm the price before starting your trip.
Walking and Local Transport
If you are feeling adventurous and are staying close to the Uông Bí area, you can walk to the nearest bus stop that goes towards Uông Bí from Ha Long City. After reaching Uông Bí, you can ask locals for directions to Ba Vàng Pagoda. It is a popular tourist site, so most people will be familiar with it. The pagoda is located on a hill, and you may need to walk a bit uphill once you get close.
