💡 Head to the seafood grill stalls at the far end — they use a local satay sauce that's much better than the touristy ones near the entrance.
💡 Go around 6 AM to see locals exercising and feeding the fish — there's a small koi pond near the pagoda that kids enjoy for free.
💡 Climb the stairs behind the main hall for a panorama of Phan Thiet's rooftops and the sea — most tourists stop at the Buddha and miss this view.
