Located behind a series of limestone mountains in the Gia Sinh Commune, Gia Vien District, Ninh Binh province, the site lies on the construction disorder on the way, so it's hard to imagine its beauty as well as on the solemn pagoda in the truest meaning of the word as the tradition. However, its size and large imposingness can all feel if it worth a visit. He leans back Bai Dinh Mountain with an altitude of 200m. Area for the construction of Ba Dinh pagoda is 80ha, which is on the mass of "Bai Dinh pagoda for the culture" of Trang An tourism

The pagoda was in a mountainous area near the old Bai Dinh Pagoda - founded by the Monk Nguyen Minh Khong (1065-1141), located in caves than 200 meters high mountain in the Bai Dinh Pagoda. According to feng shui theory, the pagoda, with his back leaning on Bai Dinh Mountain, and its front looking down the Hoang Long River, has a very good situation. Moreover, with the location too far from a residential area in a hilly region, with old trees attract birds nest, the new pagoda has a quiet atmosphere and offers visitors a peaceful impression.
The pagoda complex stretches over 100 hectares with three temples (past, present, future), Tam The, Phap Chu and the temple to honor the goddess of mercy, and one bell tower. The length from the gate to the highest temple of Tam The is 800 meters. Running from low to high are two corridors of houses, placing 500 arahats at a height of over two meters.
