Linh Ung Pagoda is located about 10 kilometers from Da Nang city center, on the Son Tra Peninsula. The most convenient way to reach the pagoda is by taxi, motorbike, or ride-hailing apps like Grab. The drive takes about 20-30 minutes and offers scenic coastal views along the way. Many guided tours include Linh Ung Pagoda as part of their itineraries.
The pagoda is open year-round, but the best time to visit is during the dry season (March to September), when clear skies enhance the views.

Sunset is particularly beautiful, as the golden light adds a magical ambiance to the surroundings.
